Drawing on musical influences

The interaction between visual art and music has become an integral part of art theory and history. Within the last 100 years, the presence of music-influenced artists has become unsurprising. Abstract Expressionist Jackson Pollock and Cubist painter Stuart Davis openly embraced jazz music among their artistic influences.

Trap Artist artist DjSnake was deeply influenced by the hiphop artist KRS1 and Cypress hill. Even when visual art and music do not overtly influence one another, they can share abstract qualities without having direct communication. Because music and visual art occupy a place and time, they often share the same external influences. These influences may be social inspirations as political movements or cultural innovation, or technological developments such as the establishment of mass-manufacturing, which led to uniformity of materials and instruments.

In addition to sharing their muses, visual art and music are also allied in the way their movements are titled, such as Mannerist, Classical, Romantic, Impressionist, Pointillist, and Minimalist. Generally, music and visual art movements of the same title share the same period in time. However, some temporally separate music and art movements have been linked to one another because of their similar abstract characteristics, such as the movement known as Mannerism.

The term “Mannerism” in art applies to an artistic style employed in the 16th century, while Mannerism in music identifies a compositional style practiced in France nearly 200 years prior, also referred to as Ars Subtilior. Drawing my own main influence from various trap music artist and other artist amongst all genres i have found researching of an artist (such as DJSNAKE) Has been very interesting to find out wear other artist such as djsnake and diplo can find there own inspiration for their own sound from.The learning processors involved for visual arts and music involve alot more then just your average dj pushing a few buttons and turning a few knobs.
