Abstract
Vladan Radovanović (Serbian Cyrillic: Владан Радовановић, b. 1932) is an intriguing creative figure––a composer and a visual artist, author of literary prose as well as a poet, passionately striving to bring together all of those artistic disciplines into his personal and original approach to synthesising art. Right from the very beginning of his creative work, Radovanović systematically explored the possibilities of expressing himself in different individual arts. At the same time, he was particularly attracted to the idea of extending the limits of art, as well as to various modalities of synthesising them. Since both of those trajectories in Radovanović’s creativity began in his early youth, which he kept developing throughout his life, one may surmise that this was his long-term plan, and that these were strategies that simultaneously developed in multiple directions. This article provides a concise survey of the main trajectories in Radovanović’s accomplishments in monomedia and polymedia arts, focusing on an analytical discussion of the artist’s approach to music in his ‘Art Synthesis’ works.
期刊介绍:
Contemporary Music Review provides a forum for musicians and musicologists to discuss recent musical currents in both breadth and depth. The main concern of the journal is the critical study of music today in all its aspects—its techniques of performance and composition, texts and contexts, aesthetics, technologies, and relationships with other disciplines and currents of thought. The journal may also serve as a vehicle to communicate documentary materials, interviews, and other items of interest to contemporary music scholars. All articles are subjected to rigorous peer review before publication. Proposals for themed issues are welcomed.
