Feature paintings of Synchromism balanced harmony of colours and a sensation of movement. It is believed that synchromist paintings evoke and sensations and similar feelings as the music. It is a fundamental principle of the synchromism art movement. Therefore, these paintings make wonderfully pleasing additions to any collection of modern art.
Founded in 1912 by Morgan Russell and Stanton MacDonald-Wright, synchromism was an art movement based not the idea that sounds and colours are phenomena which are similar in the way that the individual experiences and seen. Movement and the Organization of the color in shades of colour ' is the ways in which synchromism match music art forms.
A fundamental principle of synchromism is that color can be arranged or orchestrated in much the same way that the notes of a Symphony are arranged by composers. This harmonious arrangement of colors and shapes produced experiential results similar to that of well balanced listening orchestral compositions.
Artists of the synchromism art movement believed that by painting color scales could evoke sensations which were very musical in nature. In General, synchromism parts have a solid rhythmic form or forms then progress to the complexity in the form and colour, go in a particular direction.
In many cases, this explosion of colour with shades of colour pays in a radial pattern. It is more common for the synchromism art works have a kind of central vortex which explodes outward with a colour in complex color harmonies.
The first painting to be known as a work of synchromism was "Synchromy Morgan Russell green" which has been exposed to the Paris Salon des indépendants in Paris the year 1913. The same year, the first exhibition featuring mainly synchromist works by MacDonald-Wright and Russell was held in Munich, Germany. Following the Munich synchromist exhibition, there were exhibitions in Paris and New York.
These first synchromist parts were the first non-objective abstract paintings in American art. These more later became more known under the label of 'avante-garde'. In this way, the synchromism was the first art American front guard movement which attracted attention on the international scene.
Synchromism was compared and compared to Kupka. Kupka refers to paintings that relate to the Greek God Orpheus, the symbol of the song, the arts and the lyre. Although Kupka is rooted in Cubism, this movement moved to a lyrical abstraction which was more pure in the sense that this form of painting about synthesize a sensation of vivid colours.
Although there is little doubt that Kupka had an influence to Synchromism later, Synchromists will say that it is a unique art form. Stanton MacDonald-Wright said, "" synchromism has nothing to do with Kupka and anyone who has read the first catalogue of synchromism... understand that us fun Kupka. ""
Several other American painters have been known to experiment with synchromism. If the synchromism was a branch of Kupka or on its own unique art form, there is no doubt that of composition of the base of the harmonious use of color and movement inspired many artists and art forms. Among these artists were Thomas Hart Benton, Andrew Dasburg, and Patrick Henry Bruce.
Although the majority of Thomas Hart Benton works centred on regionalism and murals, there was also a strong flair of synchromism. Interest of Benton and the incorporation of synchromism was mainly due to after studying with artists synchromism Stanton MacDonald-Wright and Diego Rivera.
