I think Mondrian and Kandinsky are good representatives, both express links to music and structure, in particular with Kandinsky's theories (see his book, Point and Line to Plane). Much of the Bauhaus artist speak and call for modernism, but are more structured forms. What is great about Bauhaus is that it spoke to several forms from architecture to art to all forms of design.
Also look at Futurism which though mainly associated with the visual arts has great manifestos. Though looking back on all these it may seem dated. How about Hans Hoffman, Howard Hodgkin, Jackson Pollock to be a little more now? They are all painters so again it may seem dated for Techno. Alot of these visual elements however have good associations to music. Take a look at Jazz art, especially the stuff for Blue Note (see Blue Notes' book on Jazz cover art). Samy rhythmic reflection of music based on repetition of shape, expressive use of color. But again is it dated? Should we be associating it more with newer media like video and computer graphics? Maybe Nam June Paik, video artist? Personally I don't necessarily feel the 3D computer graphics reflected the music. The stuff I recall from the Mindvision and other video cassettes were cheesy and in my opinion didn't capture the music. It was just decoration. I do however like the snippets I've seen of Jeff Mills videos done by Pilot Pictures (www.pilotpictures.com). These are more in line of what I was thinking of when listening to the music. >>> Hans Veneman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 06/22/00 06:35 AM >>> > But really, who is the most techno artist? Mondrian?
