Pointillism In Webern’s Works

Anton Webern, the Austria composer, is one of the representatives of Twelve-tone Technique. He, with Arnold Schoenberg and Alban Maria Johannes Berg was called New Viennese School. Compared with the other two composers’ works, Webern’s are more progressive. His works are always rigorous and full of involuted logic. What’s more, his Pointillism techniques (called by the later generation) was thought as an important technique towards the whole sequence, which generated a significant impact on other musical styles. In addition, Webern’s works are always short but competent. The total length of all his works is about theree hours.Pointillism Techniques is the most important technique in Webern’s works, which decomposes the melody and plays some fragments, even a note with different instruments. In the fine arts, there is also Pointillism Techniques, which is generally called stippling techniques or division techniques. It is a painting technique invented by Neo-impressionist painter, which decomposes colors, paints on the canvas with a solid color dot brush and then adjusts the solid color by adjusting the eyes. In this paper, the writer uses Pointillism Techniques and stippling techniques to not only distinguish music and art, but also ingratiates the identified call in the fields of music and art.The article is divided into three chapters. The first chapter mainly elaborates the origin of Pointillism Techniques and tries to evaluate its position. The second chapter is of the most importance. Because of the strict logic in Neo-impressionist music and art works, it illustrates the artistic language use and characteristic of Pointillism Techniques based on Webern’s works composed with Pointillism Techniques and compares the similarities and differences between Pointillism Techniques and Stippling Techniques based on the comparative study of Neo-impressionist paintings by Georges Seurat and Paul Signac. The third chapter talks about some visual and auditory experience of Webern’s works and the Pointillism Techniques in others’ works. It also discusses the great impact on the later music genres and styles brought by Pointillism music and spatial and three-dimensional thinking of Stippling art.
