Other Thoughts in the Mind of Mays
My last book ?Thoughts?, based on the sculpture created by Augusta Rodan, who like the great distinguished African American sculptor Ezekiel, both used clay rather than stone. He admired the great legendary Michael Angelo and did his artistic creations in the Cistine Chapel. I decided to have my version of the ?Thinker? to have dark pigmentation with wooly hair and broad features. The muscular and powerful appearing Black figure also can think. Black men can also think and have thoughts and had to think to survive the past. Black men are now recognized to have brain power and have the ability to think in the 21st Century as exemplified by the muscular chest of President Obama.
Visible Deeds of Music
This thoughtful and provocative book explores the relationship between music and the visual arts in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, focusing on the modernist period. Reassessing the work of composers and artists such as Richard Wagner, Pablo Picasso, Paul Klee, Josef Matthias Hauer, and John Cage, Simon Shaw-Miller argues that despite modernism's advocacy of media purity and separation, the boundaries between art and music were permeable at this time, as they have been throughout history. Shaw-Miller begins by discussing the place of Wagner's music and ideas at the time of the birth of modernism, presenting Wagner's aesthetic of the Gesamtkunstwerk as an alternative paradigm for modernist art. He goes on to analyze Picasso's use of musical subjects in his cubist works and Klee's adoption of music and the issue of temporality in his paintings and drawings. He concludes with the radical aesthetic of Cage, the silencing of sound, and the promotion of intermediality in the work of Fluxus artists. Through these fascinating examples, Shaw-Miller raises questions about both art and music history that will be of interest to students of both disciplines.

Eye HEar the Visual in Music
'Eye hEar The Visual in Music' employs the concept of the visual in proximate relation to music, producing a tension: 'is it not the case that there is a gulf between painting and music, between the visible and the audible? One is full of colour and light yet silent; one is invisible and marvellously noisy.' Such a belief, this book argues, betrays an ideological constraint on music, desiccating it to sound, and art to vision. The starting point of this study is more hybrid (and hydrating): that music is never employed without numerous and complex intersections with the visual. By involving the concept of synaesthesia, the book evokes music's multi-sensory nature, stops it from sounding alon...
