Frederick Childe Hassam’s (1859-1935) Bowl of Goldfish (1912) and Debussy’s (1862-1918) “Danse Sacrèe,” from Danse sacrée et danse profane (1904), are both impressionistic works. What do you think about when you look at the painting while listening to the music? Leave your comments below.

Synergizing Music and Art 
I don’t like this art music pairing. I think the music is too dramatic for the painting. I view the painting as more hopeful, the music doesn’t support that.
