Music, muse, amusement,... it seems music is more related to emotional mood, more powerful than a painting. When we recall a past time, it is the song or music of that time firstly enter our mind, less likely a painting. Music cures, painting too, maybe not portrait painting for the struggling artists. Why paint, just a word play, is similar to the word--pain? To be relieved from pain, we painters need music.

When besieged for three years, heroic Leningrad residents could live with little food but not without music.
When Sargent paints, he hums; when he takes a break, he plays piano.
A Chinese artist creates a lyric for his painting, for which to be imbued with the music.
