JEFF GUTHERY

Artistry inspiring artistry is a common occurrence.  A book inspiring a film, a poem, a song, a myth, a dance.  One of the less common events is painting inspiring music.  And even rarer is the concept of profound artistry spawning profound artistry.  In the case of composer/percussionist Jeff Guthery's masterpiece Black Paintings, both of these rarities have been powerfully achieved. Inspired by a series of intense and mystic paintings by the immortal 18th-19th century Spanish artist Francisco Goya y Lucientes, from www.crossovermedia.net
