jac16871_ch14_352-377.indd 377 12/9/17 10:35 AM 378 Close ties among the arts occur because artists share a special purpose: the reve-lation of values. Furthermore, every artist must use some medium, some kind of “stuff” that can be formed to communicate that revelation (content) about some- thing (subject matter). All artists share some elements of media, and this sharing encourages their interaction. For example, painters, sculptors, and architects use color, line, and texture. Sculptors and architects work with the density of materials. Rhythm is basic to the composer, choreographer, and poet. Words are elemental for the poet, novelist, dramatist, and composer of songs and operas. Images are basic to the painter, filmmaker, videographer, and photographer. Artists constitute a commonwealth—they share the same end and similar means. AppropriAtion Artistic appropriation occurs when (1) artists combine their basic medium with the medium of another art or arts but (2) keep their basic medium clearly dominant. For example, music is the basic medium for composers of opera. The staging may include architecture, painting, and sculpture. The language of the drama may in- clude poetry. The dance, so dependent on music, is often incorporated in opera, and sometimes in contemporary opera so are photography and even film. Yet music almost always dominates in opera. We may listen to Beethoven’s Fidelio or Bizet’s Chapter 15

THE INTERRELATIONSHIPS OF THE ARTS
Carmen time after time, yet it is hard to imagine anyone reading the librettos over and over again. Although essential to opera, the drama, along with the staging, rarely dominates the music. Often the librettos by themselves are downright silly. Nevertheless, drama and the other appropriated arts generally enhance the feelings interpreted by the music. PERCEPTION KEY Opera Attend an opera or watch a video of an opera by Puccini, perhaps La Bohème.
