Intro

Presented in the Espace Focus at the Cantonal Museum of Fine Arts in Lausanne, the exhibition Les couleurs du son looks back at the key moments in Charles Blanc-Gatti’s artistic career.

Charles Blanc-Gatti (Lausanne, 1890–Riex, 1966) had been drawn to both music and the visual arts since childhood. He also possessed ‘chromatic and geometric synesthesia’: when he heard sounds, he visualised colours and shapes. An amateur violinist and self-taught painter, he received no formal academic training.Blanc-Gatti offers a wide range of approaches to establishing connections between sounds and colours: pictorial transpositions, dynamic light installations and animated films. All his works aim to stimulate and enrich our sensory perceptions.Curated by: Catherine Lepdor, Chief Curator, MCBA, assisted by Camille de Alencastro, Research Associate, MCBA
