Three modern-ear artists have influenced me and demonstrate an artist expression similar to Bach’s. Each of the artists, Escher, Durer and Van Gogh, worked within the conventions of art – respectively using pen and ink, watercolors and oils – yet each transcend the implied boundaries of their media by creating innovative forms and styles. Escher used perspective to explore and “prove” how two-dimensional relationships can appear as three. Durer, the Renaissance painter and engraver, also had the ability to draw the viewer into the picture and believe in its reality, sensitively using the techniques of perspective, detail, color, and texture to create an overall sense of photographic realism. Van Gogh used color and gesture to enunciate his experiments with spatial relationships and rendered them on a two-dimensional plane.
