Spring Synchromy
Stanton Macdonald-Wright co-founded the art movement “Synchromism” in 1912. He based his Synchromist paintings on color “scales” that were similar to musical scales. Macdonald-Wright mimicked sequences of musical chords by arranging brilliant, jewel-like pigments in staggered blocks and prismatic shapes.
