Description

American Expressionism was much more than a movement of painting - it was an artistic attitude in which visual art and music influenced each other. In the 1950s, a unique network of composers and painters emerged in New York, which became known as the "New York School." Composers such as John Cage, Morton Feldman, Christian Wolff and Earle Brown entered into a close exchange with artists such as Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Willem de Kooning and Robert Rauschenberg. Their common goal: new forms of expression beyond traditional conventions. While painting experimented with gesture, surface and abstraction, music developed a new openness towards chance, silence, space and alternative notations. Two of them will celebrate their 100th birthdays in 2026: Morton Feldmann and Earl Brown.
The seminar sheds light on this interdisciplinary movement from a compositional perspective, analyzes exemplary works and relates them to the visual arts of the time. At the same time, an outlook will be given on the reception and further development of these impulses up to the present day.
