The art collection of Dimitri Tiomkin: conexion between art and music
Abstract
Dimitri Tiomkin (1894-1979) has been one of the most influential film composers of all times. Both, the man and his work have been the recipients of numerous honors and awards, including forus Academy Awards. Along his work as a musician, he cultivated other artistic facets as theater and film producer. Since he was a young man, he moved in cultural and artistic circles that allow him to know some of the greatest figures of the first half of the 20th century. This led him to understand art as a much broader concept than the established categories themselves, establishing a dialogue between disciplines that would influence his training as a person and as a professional. Through the use of documentary and photographic sources, as well as testimonials and original correspondence, we analyze his art collection and his artistic relationships, as well as their influence on his career as a film composer.
