Stravinsky and art
on: December 21, 2006, 07:24:54 PM
Anybody know of some good references to Stravinsky and the influence that art had on his music?  I have read references to primitivism and cubism effects in the Rite of Spring.  Any good info on the topic, or on other pieces, or on other genres of art in his music?

Thanks.
