Sounding color and visible sound. 1. 2. 3. The concept of abstractionism. V. V. Kandinsky. Properties of paints: color, tone, intensity and their "spiritual effect". Signs and symbols of art, artistic messages of ancestors, "Trinity" by Andrei Rublev, symbols in life and art, abstract art, V. Kandinsky.

Abstractionism (from Lat. Abstractio - removal, distraction) Direction in the visual arts of the XX century. This trend is characterized by: refusal to depict real objects, their forms, pointless compositions (lines, points, spots, planes, etc.), experiments with color, a reflection of the artist's inner world in chaotic, disorganized images. This direction is a response to the general disharmony of the modern world and a call to "give up the initiative to forms, colors, colors"

V.V. Kandinsky (1866 -1944). one of the representatives of abstract art. "Colors should be used not because they exist or do not exist in nature, but because it is in this sound that they are necessary in the picture."

V. Kandinsky. Contrasting sounds. He characterized paints according to three criteria - color, tone and intensity. He believed that these three features play an important role in creating the emotional structure of the work. The timbres of musical works have the same meaning.

V. Kandinsky. Composition VIII Yellow and blue colors create the illusion of movement At the same time: “the yellow circle acquires movement from the center and almost visibly approaches the person the blue circle acquires concentric movement (like a snail in a shell) and moves away from the person The yellow circle pierces the eyes, as it were plunges "(V. Kandinsky)

V. Kandinsky. Several circles If you add blue in different proportions to yellow paint, you get different shades of green Kandinsky believed that mixing yellow and green slows down movement until it is completely destroyed.Green is the color of immobility and peace, balance, but the possibility of life is potentially hidden in it, so how it is composed of active colors.

"I weighed the sound, measured and calculated
He penetrated the riddle of the word by cunning.
And I have conceived a clever villainy -
To betray your living language to the gland ... "
(A. Zhuravlev)

1. "Sound + color"?
The property of sounds to evoke color images has been noticed for a long time. Much has been written about the hearing of A. Scriabin, who musical sounds saw in colour... A whole trend in art - color music - is based on this property of the sounds of music.

There is evidence that speech sounds, especially vowels, can also be perceived in colour... A. Rimbaud even wrote a sonnet "Vowels", in which he colored the sounds:

A - black; white - E; And - red; U - green;
Oh - blue: I will tell their secret in my turn ...

But the French linguist K. Nirop attributed vowel quite other colors: he thought And - blue, U - bright yellow, A - red... The German linguist A. Schlegel wrote that for him And - sky blue, A - red, O - purple... But the Russian poet A. Bely claimed that he BUT appears to white, E - yellow-green, I - blue, U - black, O - bright orange... If we continue to name individual judgments about the color of vowels, then each sound will be colored in all colors of rainbows.

So, in this case, are there any definite sound-color correspondences at all? Isn't this fantasy? Or, perhaps, randomly occurring unstable associations between sound and color? Is it possible that sound connections are a consequence of extremely finely arranged mechanisms of perception of individual people? Different answers were given to these questions, but most often they agreed that communication "sound of speech - color"- rare especially individual phenomenon.

2. General provisions of the theory

Modern science recognizes a phenomenon as existing only when it is either directly observed, or reproducibly manifests itself in experiments, or is strictly calculated. Moreover, in any case, the last word remains with practice: it is necessary for the phenomenon to function observably or to reveal traces of its action.

But when it comes to the human psyche, everything looks different. In this area, science, as in the "picnic on the sidelines" zone, still rarely and with difficulty penetrates, and, having penetrated, stumbles upon incomprehensible "complete dummies" that cannot be opened with its tools.

Mental phenomena most often not directly observed, in experiments they appear, sometimes they do not, they are poorly calculated, and the traces of their functioning are vague, unsteady, irregular. Especially in the subconscious. Here, let's say intuition... Everyone can recall cases when, as it seems to us, the right decision or action was prompted to us by intuition.

Moreover, as it turned out in the process of working on artificial intelligence, a person in difficult situations makes a decision not by enumerating all possible options, but heuristically, subconsciously, intuitively finds the right path. But on the other hand, intuition often fails. How to understand when intuition whispers to us the right decision, and when tricky push us into a dead end?

So it is with sound-color matches. If they exist, then who is right - A. Rimbaud or A. Bely? Whose intuition is more correct?

The idea behind the experiments is simple: the reactions are recorded many subjects to a certain stimulus, and then statistical processing of the obtained material follows in order to reveal the main trends in the reactions. The registration technique is varied: the subjects are either presented with the sounds of speech - they need to choose colors for them, or different color cards are presented - they need to write sounds on them, or they are given the task to arrange sounds by color, say, from "the most red" to "least red", from "the most blue "to" least blue "and the like.

Many such experiments with thousands of informants have shown that in overwhelming most of the subjects paint at least vowels quite definitely... Opinions are especially unanimous regarding the three vowels - A, E, I. Sound and letter (sound letter) BUT quite consistently called red , E- clearly green, but AND- definitely blue... Sound letter ABOUT everyone considers it light and bright, but although most of the subjects call it yellow, the answers are still quite common: "white". It turns out that she sunny.

Note that linguists consider the vowels A, O, E, And the main, supporting for the human speech apparatus and the main ones in all languages. And physicists relevant by this vowel colors because their combinations give all other colors and shades. This is what color photography and color television use. Is it not surprising that in the language the correspondences to the main colors turned out to be the most clear?

Apparently, the "collective intuition" of people is manifested here: the color structure of the world is reflected in the color structure of the language... The names of the main colors occur in speech most often, and the sounds A, O, E, I most frequent of the vowels. And between the names of the primary colors and these vowels, in turn, there is a connection: the name of a certain color contains a correspondingly "colored" sound, and it occupies the most important, stressed position in the word: red, blue.

The rest of the vowels are tinted., as well as the colors with which they are associated, moreover, this connection is traced less clearly - there is a greater variation in the opinions of the subjects. So, Have- associated with dark shades of blue colors: dark blue, dark blue, dark blue-green, dark purple. Sound letter YU contacts too with shades of blue colors, but with bright: blue, light lilac.

Sound letter behaves interesting Yo... In writing, it is similar to E, but sounding with ABOUT... And in terms of color, it is quite definitely located between yellow O and green E... About half of the subjects call it yellow, and half call it green. So Yo is light, yellow-green.

And here I color almost does not differ from BUT, except that it is perceived as lighter and brighter.

Concerning S, then here we should not talk about color, but rather about the light characteristic. If a O is the sound letter of light then Y is the sound letter of darkness, darkness. She is the darkest of all vowels, and the subjects unanimously give her the darkest characteristics - dark brown, black.

It is curious that the perception, strictly speaking, of a consonant sound Th clearly influenced by the graphic shape of the letter Th transmitting this sound. Similarity Th from AND led to similar color ratings - Th perceived as blue sound letter, although with less certainty than AND.

Letter E had to be excluded from the analysis. Although it conveys almost the same sound that in most cases is conveyed by the letter E, green sound letter E according to the answers of the subjects it does not work: the letter form is different. And none at all a certain color does not associate with E... And since it occurs E in the texts extremely rarely (much less often than all other vowels), it was decided not to take it into account in further analysis of the texts.

Sure, not all sound-color matches equally firmly fixed in the subconscious. There are subjects who in all experiments show clear and uniform results that coincide with the "collective opinion" of all respondents, and there are those whose answers in different experiments are contradictory, unstable, and no definite color of sounds can be traced in their answers. Well, well, because color blind people do not see the color of objects, but this does not mean that the color of objects does not exist. It is important that the majority of the subjects as a whole agreeably and fairly uniformly establish quite definite connections between sound and color, although almost no one realizes this.

Results of the experiment on sound-color matching:

3. Implementation of theory in poetic texts

If the correspondences of speech sounds to certain colors exist, even in the subconscious, then they must appear somewhere, the sound color must somehow function in speech. And perhaps, first of all, you need to look for manifestations of sound-color halos in poetry: where the sound side is especially important. The effect of sound color can play a role in the case when a certain color picture is created in the poem, and the drawing of the vowels of the verse should support, "highlight" this the picture with sounds of the corresponding color.

If so, then it is natural to expect that when describing, eg, red items and phenomena in the text will emphasize the role of red BUT and I; they will appear more frequently than usual, especially in the most important, most prominent positions (say, drums). Description of something blue will be accompanied by the injection of blue AND, Have, YU; green- injection E, Yo etc.

It was worth starting to test this hypothesis as in dry statistical calculations became before our eyes manifest live the game sound color halos poetic language, striking in its unexpectedness, its diversity and exact correspondence to the conceptual meaning and the general expressive-figurative meaning of the works. Judge for yourself.

Have Blok there is a poem that he wrote under the impression of the painting by V. Vasnetsov "Gamayun, the prophetic bird " ... The poem about formidable prophecies conveys the tragic flavor of the picture - the dark purple color of executions, fires, blood.

If the initial hypothesis is correct, then in the sound-letter fabric of the poem must meet more often than normal, red BUT, I and dark, gloomy Have, S, is not it?

Since both the problem of sound color and the analysis of poems are very unusual from this point of view, the statement that this is really so will probably not be enough. The usual reaction of anyone who first hears about sonic flower in poetry is: "It can't be!" And machine calculations are most often looked at with the secret confidence of a trick. Therefore, we will describe at least briefly the method of computer analysis of this and other poems that will be discussed here.

In the text of the poem (including the title) the number of each of the 10 sound letters is counted listed in the table. To take into account the special role of stressed vowels, they are doubled when counting. As Yo, I, YU, Th associated only with shades of primary colors and also because they are relatively rare, independent meaning in the sound-color picture of the verse they Dont Have... Therefore, they are added to the main vowels. Since the sound letter Yo turned out to be two-color, then its quantity is divided equally between ABOUT and E... Blue Th weakly expressed, therefore the amount Th is reduced by half and only then is added to AND... The number of all letters with percussion doubling (N value) is also counted.

Then determine the share(frequency) every vowel in the text poem (Pk) and the units of the swing for a given text:

The obtained particulars are compared with the normal ones (average for the language), and the normalized differences of these frequencies are calculated in order to establish whether it is random or not. the frequencies observed in the poem differ from normal and how exactly they differ:

Sound flower in a poem "Gamayun, the prophetic bird":

As you can see, sounds BUT and I in ordinary speech it would have to meet 116 per thousand, and in a poem them much more(Pk = 0.159). At s = 0.018, such a deviation of a particular (0.159 - 0.116 = 0.044) exceeds the random by 2.39 times, that is, it can hardly be accidental. Means, poet intuitively pumped red BUT and I, more often providing them with shock positions (a number of bloody executions broadcast). The second in excess of the norm is S, giving the red tone a dark, tragic sound. Finally, Have(also with an excess of frequency over the norm) adds dark blue-green and lilac shades to the sound-color picture. The frequency of all other vowels is below normal.

If we now depict in color the play of the vowels dominating in the poem, we get painting in red-purple and black-blue tones, here and there with dark green. And this is the color scheme of the painting by V. Vasnetsov. It remains only to be amazed at how accurately the poet's talent prompted him to choose and proportion the dominant sounds.

In this way, many poems are "read" on the computer. For some of them, total values ​​(Z) are given in the general plate, so that you can make sure that the detected sound-color matches - not a paradox of statistics, no coincidence digits. Significant excess frequencies are marked in bold. In the last, eighth column, the color decoding of the results is given.

Sound flowers in poetry:

It is clearly seen how accurately uses the visual capabilities of sound-color halos S. Yesenin ... When comparing the very first lines of his poems with the colors of the dominant vowels, a clear correspondence between verbal and sound-color pictures is immediately revealed. "Dissuaded the golden grove ..." - dominant color yellow slightly greenish. "The scarlet light of dawn was woven on the lake ..." - sounds create deep red and dark blue gamut. "The air is transparent and blue ..." - sonic flower blue, slightly pinkish. "Green hairstyle, girlish breasts ..." - green and dark green with blue the range of sound-color matches.

4. Instead of a conclusion

As they say, comments are superfluous. Yes, poets could say about themselves in the words of A. Voznesensky: "We see the sound"... They really see him with the mind's eye talent, feel its rainbow halo and light this rainbow in their poems.

Well, the computer shows color pictures hidden in the text, thereby showing that he is able to grasp this amazing feature of poetic speech.

Gods between all living beings, as well as create a higher being named man, who would control them. Prometheus and Epimetus, of course, first of all dealt with those who had already been created. But they gave gifts with such generosity that there was nothing left for the person's lot. And although they did not have the slightest idea how to get out of this difficulty, they nevertheless took clay and began to create man. They blinded him in the image of the Gods, asked Eros to breathe life into him, and Minerva (Pallas Athena) to give him a soul. The man came to life, got up from the ground and began to inspect his possessions. Rightly proud of the creation of his hands, Prometheus decided to present him with the most valuable gift that no living creature had that could put him above them and bring him closer to the immortal Gods. It was fire, but only the Gods could wield fire. Prometheus knew that they would never share this gift with a person, and if someone manages to steal the fire, then he will not be forgiven. He thought for a long time how he could get fire, and finally decided to steal it or die.

Jupiter, from his throne at the top of Mount Olympus, noticed a strange light on the earth. Wanting to understand what it is, he looked closely and realized that it was fire. Unable to contain his anger, he vowed to subject Prometheus to a painful execution, and all the Gods trembled upon hearing this oath. In less than a minute, the kidnapper was captured, carried to the Caucasus and chained to a huge rock. An insatiable eagle began to fly here every day, which pecked at the liver of Prometheus. The vulture tore at it with its strong beak and claws, causing the unfortunate man incredible suffering. All day the bird of prey tore at Prometheus's liver, but on cold nights, while she slept, the liver healed and the pain subsided, thereby prolonging the torture, which, as Prometheus knew, would never end. Realizing that many years of terrible torment awaited him, he sometimes bitterly complained about his fate, but one thing consoled him - the gratitude of people who did not tire of praising him for the fire that he had acquired for them at such a terrible price. A few hundred years later, Hercules, the son of Jupiter and Alcimenes, came to the rock where Prometheus was chained, killed the eagle, broke the diamond chains and freed God, who had suffered for so long.

During the creation of the world, covering the newborn land with luxurious vegetation and populating it with various living creatures, Eros decided that it was necessary to endow them with instincts that would allow them to enjoy the life given by the Gods and not let it fade away. He called for help from the two youngest sons of Iapetus and asked them to share the gifts

Gods between all living beings, as well as create a supreme being named man, who would control them. Prometheus and Epimetus, naturally, were primarily concerned with those who had already been created. But they gave gifts with such generosity that there was nothing left for the person's lot. And although they did not have the slightest idea how to get out of this difficulty, they nevertheless took clay and began to create man. They blinded him in the image of the Gods, asked Eros to breathe life into him, and Minerva (Pallas Athena) to give him a soul. The man came to life, got up from the ground and began to inspect his possessions. Rightly proud of the creation of his hands, Prometheus decided to present him with the most valuable gift that no living creature had that could put him above them and bring him closer to the immortal Gods. It was fire, but only the Gods could wield fire. Prometheus knew that they would never share this gift with a person, and if someone manages to steal the fire, then he will not be forgiven. He thought for a long time how he could get fire, and finally decided to steal it or die.

On a dark night, he went to Olympus, entered the abode of the gods unnoticed, grabbed a burning torch and, hiding it on his chest, left, rejoicing that everything went well. Returning to earth, he handed the stolen fire to people who immediately adapted it to their needs and began to warmly thank Prometheus, who risked his life in order to get this priceless gift for them.

Jupiter, from his throne at the top of Mount Olympus, noticed a strange light on the earth. Wanting to understand what it is, he looked closely and realized that it was fire. Unable to contain his anger, he vowed to subject Prometheus to a painful execution, and all the Gods trembled upon hearing this oath. In less than a minute, the kidnapper was captured, carried to the Caucasus and chained to a huge rock. An insatiable eagle began to fly here every day, pecking at the liver of Prometheus.

Questions:

What was the symbol of the hero of the ancient Greek myth - Prometheus for the composer Scriabin?

As A.N. Scriabin wanted to organize a space in which a symphony of fire sounds?

Why do you think our lesson began with an acquaintance with the work of V.V. Kandinsky and passed into the extraordinary music of A.N. Skryabin?
