Abstract

During the period of deep transformation of Chinese society and culture in modern times (since 1911), painting and music, as important artistic forms, demonstrated intertwining trajectories of development. The movements «Shanghai School of Painting» (海上画派) and «school songs» (学堂乐歌), which arose from the late XIX to 1920s. centered in Shanghai, are a striking case of such interdisciplinary interaction. The purpose of this study is to study the characteristic features of the relationship and mutual influence of Chinese painting and music in the process of their development in the specified period, as well as to analyze general sociocultural reasons and specific manifestations of their interaction. The object of research is the interaction of Chinese painting and music from the end of the 19th century to the 1920s. The subject of research is the features of Chinese painting and music in their relationship. A number of methods were used in the work, including theoretical analysis and comparative studies, which made it possible to identify the features of the general historical background, as well as the urban cultural space, which led to the development of painting and music in the period under consideration. Features of the concepts of «synthesis of Chinese and Western» and «combination of refinement with general availability» are revealed. The study shows that the development of the Shanghai School of Painting and «school songs» jointly passed a key stage of breakthrough from the traditional framework to the active synthesis of Chinese and Western art language.
