Jazz and the Visual Arts Round-Up

I've always been interested in comparing the mechanisms of creating the various forms of art, be it dance, fiction, poetry, film, paintings, sculpture, sketch comedy, or one of many others with music and music-making.  I've run across a number of articles lately that add to this dialogue:

• A lengthly article refuting the claim that bebop negatively impacted graphic art in the 1940s and 1950s
  
• A Richmond artist who tries to "duplicate the feeling, the ambience of the jazz bar" in her paintings
• Another painter whose work demands us to "think of it like jazz" to properly interpret
• The Monterey Museum of Modern Art currently has an exhibition of Henri Matisse's "Jazz" series in association with the Monterey Jazz Festival
• Another art exhibition, this time of work inspired by the music of composer Hoagy Carmichael
• A wonderful article on an exhibition called "Eye-Music: Kandinsky, Klee and All That Jazz", with commentary on the relationship between their art and jazz music

Please feel free to add comments, or start a formal dialogue in the Discussion Board.
