Encounter 13X40 Pastel and pencil on paper
Encounter is based on a performance of Domenico Scarlatti's Sonata K430 in D Major by Angela Hewitt.
Picture
Encounter depicts a section of the sonata with repeated figures in the right hand and left hand that trade off and on. It weaves in the colors of a painting of the same name by Johannes Itten, a member of Bauhaus who had a unique theory about color and the relationship between music and color. You can learn more about Itten's theory and the circumstances which inspired Itten to paint Encounter on The Art Story.
