Gustave Bourgogne (1888-1968), a french painter born in 1888 in Veigné in Indre et Loire and died in Paris in 1968. He excelled in landscapes, still lifes and portraits and specialized in the abstract interpretation of great musical compositions.
In 1928, hearing the great carillon of the cathedral of Mechelen, he had the revelation of the correspondence of sounds and colors and began to reproduce in his paintings the impressions felt while listening to music, considering that painting is like music, the result of the same deep rhythm. In the company of Henri Valensi, Charles Blanc-Gatti and Vito Stracquadaini, Gustave Bourgogne published the Musicalism Manifesto in 1932 and created with them the Association of Musical Artists.
He exhibited his works at the first three salons of musical artists (which were held at the Renaissance Gallery) which were joined by, among others, Louise Janin (1893-1997), Frantisek Kupka (1871-1957), Otto Freundlich, Lempereur-Haut, Ernst Klausz, Jean -
Marie Euzet (1905-1980), Etienne Beothy, Arne Hosek, Wladimir Baranoff Rossine (1888-1944), Maurice Lerouille, Salomon Neroni Carlu, Barret, Da silva Bruhns. Their common goal is not to translate music into painting but rather to reveal its psychic echoes in the visual domain. It is indeed a question of taking advantage of the sentimental resonances of colors in a range of precise expressions, of giving form to sensations resulting from subjectivity.
According to their theories, the canvas is like a vertical partition where the artist superimposes the different sensory aspects of the same vision, integrating rhythm, dynamism, symbolization... According to them, the music reflects the scientific dynamism of the 20th century. According to Raymond Bayer, Musicalism is more than a school, it is an art doctrine. It even goes beyond the doctrine while containing it, because it is a body of knowledge constituting a system..." We have spoken in this regard of a "cine-painting", of "new research into rhythmo-plastic". Exhibitions of musical artists took place, among others, in Budapest (organized by Beothy) and in Prague (1936), in Amsterdam (1937), in Bratislava (1938)... In 1973, the first retrospective of the Musicalist Salons took place at the gallery Hexagram in Paris. Gustave Bourgogne exhibited regularly at the Salon des Indépendants until 1963.
In 1932, Gustave Bourgogne showed his suite, inspired by the works of Beethoven, and in 1935, his series of portraits.

Gustave Bourgogne
Gustave Bourgogne was a French painter born in 1888 in Veigné, Indre-et-Loire, and passed away in Paris in 1968. He distinguished himself through his landscapes, still lifes, and genre scenes, capturing with sensitivity the light and atmosphere of the places he depicted. In 1932, alongside Henri Valensi, Charles Blanc-Gatti, and Vittorio Straquadanini, Bourgogne co-founded the Musicalist movement, seeking to create a correspondence between painting and music by translating rhythms and sound harmonies into pictorial compositions. Within the artistic context of the time, Bourgogne evolved among contemporaries such as Henri Valensi, with whom he shared an innovative vision of art, integrating musical concepts into their works. The Musicalist movement, though less well-known than other currents, reflects a period of experimentation and research into the correspondences between the arts.
