John Cage A Selected Chronology of Visual Art Works
Best known as an experimental composer and performer, John Cage (1912-92) was also a visual artist who created an extensive body of prints, drawings, and watercolors during the last 20 years of his life.
In all of his work, regardless of medium, Cage consistently dismissed conventional aesthetics by limiting or eliminating the artist’s choice in the creative process. In composing his watercolors, he relied on his signature method of chance operations, guided by a system of random numbers derived from the Yijing.
The sight of silence: John Cage’s complete watercolors by Ray Kass (Charlottesville : University Press of Virginia, 2011) reproduces all of the 125 signed watercolors that Cage created during four week-long sessions at the Mountain Lake Workshop, Virginia, between 1983 and 1990.
The included critical essay and accompanying workshop diaries relate the methods at play in Cage’s visual art to those of his musical compositions and theater pieces. The accompanying DVD offers a live view of Cage at work, featuring a public reading with audience discussion, as well as an interview with him about his watercolor paintings.

Music: Erik Satie "Three Gymnopedies: For Piano"
John Cage's repertoire was heavily influenced by that of Erik Satie. During his career Satie's main intention was to ridicule what he regarded as the 'pompous' in music and became captivated by the idea of reducing musical composition to its essential elements. His music was described by critics as sardonic and witty, brief and unpretentious. At a performance of one of the first theatrical work's in 1913, one critic remarked that Satie "might easily be described as 'Dada' except the 'Dadaist' movement had not yet been invented" (E. Myers quoted in C. Brown, Chance and Circumstances: twenty years with Cage and Cunningham, Evanston, 2007, p. 18). Cage has admitted that it was his love of Satie's work that caused him to rediscover what he termed his 'musical truth'. Following Satie's lead he began to free himself of the musical conventions of scales, modes and the traditional theories of counterpoint and harmony and became convinced that music was simply a pared-down combination of sound and silence.

Giallo a Venezia main theme the extended version
Переглядів 7 тис.12 років тому
Just for kicks I thought the main theme to Giallo a Venezia should have been a little longer
@jeffreybennittjones2 what music is this?
Love his work.
Beautiful work , Wow ..
Should have stuck to being a musician on this showing
👍 👍 👍
Thankx for the amazing collection.
great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🟢
Rest in peace Syd
It's interesting watching this and knowing his story. The early works are much more intense, in context they feel like an impending catastrophe. The later ones feel like therapy, in a way they feel more sane. They are works without ambition, as someone who likes his art it is reassuring that he didn't stop.
He was good in All - Music, Lyrics, Pictures, Selfies ............
Sublime curation by J. Bennitt. Transcendent art by Joseph Beuys.
I was hoping the music would sound like this. Syd, imo, never stopped being an artist.
Emotional
I will watch this again. I can see a lot of influences in this work. He was very adept in a range of media. Some really great pieces here. A true artistic everyman. I would love to see an exhibition of his work
Il était aussi génial avec sa guitare qu'aves ses pinceaux. Dommage que nous n'ayons pû en profiter plus longtemps. Merci Syd.
Syd have a good talent for painting!!! Just as music!!! I wonder if he painted with left hand? .. he played guitar with the right hand.
❤
Who made the music on this video. It fits so well 😢
My God he was a young teen for a lot of the paintings. Major talent and artistic vision.
The visual arts are such a wonderful form of self expression. A brilliant insight into the man. Thank-you.
Unfortunately his great painting creativity started to vanish with his illness worsening. In the last decade of his life his paintings were very bad - somehow painting kept him alive till the end.
Splendid tribute, tk u so v much.
The children from that horrible war, were magically creative and sad. Post traumatic effects.
The Red & Green Abstract (1971) is great! I love Barret's art work, but I love his pop songs more, can't explain it.
thank you Syd xxx
Bello como todo lo de Syd barret
Nice collection from Sid!
Szechuan Elle
artworks a lot like his music -- beautiful, colourful, haunting & a tad disturbing !
He was a great GREAT Artist!
he did a lot of mosaic matalics tiles type painting and surreal still life's.
Some not so save worthy but when you have a special guy like him it’s all important.
Wonderfully Presented. Beautiful and he kept painting right to the end. Thank You for posting this wonderful exhibition. It's nice to finally see his work. Much emotion...
Syd surprises me still.
Fantastic Paintings from Sydney ❤
Fortunately you don't need to be young and sexy and get mutilating psychdrugs for a while as an artist.A painter as talented and driven as SYD can continue to paint long after the fake news media have declared him dead. Can't wait to see his latest work...will probably be back for the SECOND COMING with JIM MORRISON DAVID BOWIE,KLAUS SCHULZE,JIMI HENDRIX,ELVIS,RONALD REAGAN,IKE TURNER and sooo many others s o o n !++++❤😊
Increíble, maravilloso. Syd fue una persona absolutamente brillante, superior! 😢
THE MUSIC SUX
These are in my opinion museum prices he could have made it as painter as well as great musician they all have a different feel I think only half way through 🤔
💘💘❤❤💖💖
The early work shows great promise, though it lacks a central vision, which is normal for art students. The post freak-out work lacks the same intensity, though the talent still shines through in the touch, the composition, the use of color. One gets the impression, from the large gaps between the dates, that he didn't create that much work. Lovely work nevertheless. Some of it should be in a museum, for two reasons: 1) because it's good (and better than a lot other contemporary stuff); and 2) because it's by Syd Barrett.
A lot of “contemporary stuff” just resembles icing on a wedding cake . Mostly an atrocious waste of perfectly good art supplies.
Syd was doing psychedelic art before psychedelia was a thing. He loved painting and that was his passion. He did it until his body died and spirit went home. Music kept him from needing a penny, getting generous royalties from Pink Floyd. But, I don't think he even had a guitar after he did those gigs in the early 70s. I loved how he didn't try to cover his British accent. If it wasn't for that painter kid starting a band with Roger and later Nick and Rick, we would have never had the Floyd with Gilmour (who was Syd's friend.) I think Syd wanted out and knew the potential Gilmour had on guitar. IMO, the best lead guitarist to do it. Can a Hendrix solo bring you to tears? A Gilmour solo can....and if it can't, listen to more Floyd and let yourself cry. It's good to do. As I get older, it becomes harder to cry, but when I do, for a short time, God lifts the weight from my shoulders.
Very cool...but why is the sound track Erik Satie?? John Cage was a musician too.............? Really?
Because I didnt want to mess around with copyright issues and John Cage very much appreciated the music of Erik Satie and this music was in the list of creative commons. I would have very preferred to use something by Mr Cage.
@@jeffreybennittjones2 Yes, I was a bit hasty here. That makes sense JB. My apologies.
@@jayumble8390 No worries. Figuring out the soundtrack to these is probably the hardest part.
What is the beautiful piece of music? It pairs perfectly with Roger's paintings. Thank you for sharing this wonderful collection
Hi, you are welcome. The music is from a nondescript file of different piano music that I have and was simple reversed and played on top of itself. I never named it, just wanted something I thought would fit. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
It is wonderful and so fitting. ❤
Total blend of earth and emotion!!
huge Syd Barrett music fan for many years ; i have seen a couple of these but , to see the whole collection blows me away , tho not at all surprised he output such lovely paintings. I just cant believe I have not seen them previously s they are SO good.
Thank you for posting such a tastefully delightful video of Syd’s paintings. I have been a fan of his music for decades now, and always felt quite an affinity for the guy sharing in the wonders of life and the universe through his lyrics and the bands early sound. I was particularly glad to see you had posted the year these various works were made, as it was interesting to recall the places I was in my life at those various points, and thinking of him when revisiting the music, wondering what his life was like and hoping he had some simple joys. To see he was still grappling with form, color, and composition.. knowing it was giving him some satisfaction and a sense of purpose was relieving for me, as it must’ve been for him. Would be great to have heard him explaining his thoughts behind these works to those closest to him. Having relatives and other acquaintances who have suffered a similar condition, I fully understand how some days are better than others, and just so glad to see some results from some of those better days.
Painting probably kept him alive as long as he did. It was the one thing no one could take away from him for being mentally ill.
Talented guy.
