The similarity in growth between mid-twentieth century American painting and jazz
Abstract
The intention of this thesis is to substantiate the assumption
that there have been important similarities in the development of
jazz and painting during the decade 1945-1955. The emphasis will
be placed on the comparison of the avant garde of both painting
and jazz with particular attention to the thinking and motivation
of these two groups.
