Morton Feldman’s Influence By Painters

From The Boston Globe:

Feldman (1926-1987), after all, was the most painterly of avant-garde composers. He had plenty of musical influences, including Cage and Varese. But as a denizen of the fabled Greenwich Village scene of the 1950s, he was also intoxicated by the new energy in painting he saw bursting forth all around him. He once described his own works as “time canvases,” adding: “I more or less prime the canvas with an overall hue of the music.”
