Goethe famously said in 1807 that painting "lacks any established, accepted theory as exists in music".[3][2] Kandinsky, in 1911, reprised Goethe, agreeing that painting needed a solid foundational theory, and such theory should be patterned after the model of music theory,[2] and adding that there is a deep relationship between all the arts, no only between music and painting.[4]
The comparison of painting with music gained much regard among the avant-garde artists of 1920s, the Weimar culture period, like Paul Klee.[1]
