"At the beginning of the 20th century, the ambition of the great painters was to make paintings that were like music, which was then considered as the noblest art"

This quote by Brian Eno speaks with the ambition of painters at the beginning of the 20th century. Music was seen as the most worthy of all the arts, and painters wanted to produce works that might be viewed as equal to music. This aspiration was driven by the desire to produce something that was more than simply a visual representation of a scene or a feeling. Painters wanted to produce something that could evoke the exact same feelings and feelings that music could. They wanted to create something that could be seen as a type of art in its own right, something that could be appreciated and enjoyed in the very same way as music. This ambition was a driving force for numerous painters of the time, and it is still seen today in the works of many contemporary artists.
