''Music, I feel, should be emotional first and intellectual second.'' - Maurice Ravel
''The greatest education in the world is watching the masters at work.'' - Michael Jackson
And I was ready for another answer, just in case:
Ooh, interesting....
I tried to find the most dramatic picture I could find for La Mer. That one's good too though.
Now I wonder what it sounds like...

"Nationally-colored romanticism" influenced by his mentor. Leevi Madetoja. Try to imagine a more romantic Finnish composer than Sibelius but whose work was written after Sibelius...! BUT, the slow opening section of the first movement "has a soft, almost impressionist mien to it." It's very pleasant, but not particularly original.
Variation on a theme, if that's okay. What kind of music would you associate with this Van Gogh painting:
Hmm.
Some kind of 'spacious' music? Depicting a landscape?

I could not clearly articulate the reason why but Van Gogh often reminds me of Milhaud's music. Is Suite Provençale??
I have to admit, I haven't heard anything by Milhaud in a while. The last piece I listened to by him was something for flute; can't remember the name of it...
Nevertheless, I do see the Milhaud association.

Frankly, I don't even know what I am doing to this thread.
Hey, it's your thread; do what you like to it!
I'm going to try to think of some pieces that I can find obvious pictures for. Trying to help keep the ball rolling...
This is fun!

Ok, here's one that already has an association.

Have been waiting for CD to jump in, not being sure about the musical association to the birth of Venus. Could it be Holst?
Hi ON - Hi Ms. RoJo,
Well, I'm torn between a few different interpretations: Adam and Eve, Venus - this is problematical if one thinks of Holst since then there needs to be a planet imho. Daphnis and Chloe came to my mind also - well, thats it for me - I'm stumped. <: - ?
*If a man wants God to hear his prayer quickly, then before he prays for anything else, even his own soul, when he stands and stretches out his hands towards God, he must pray with all his heart for his enemies. Through this action God will hear everything that he asks* -Abba Zeno-
*Protagoras: "Truth is subjective. What is true for you, and what is true for me, is true for me. Your opinion is true by virtue of its being your opinion."
*Socrates: "My opinion is: Truth is absolute, not opinion, and that you are in absolute error. Since this is my opinion, then according to your philosophy you must grant that it is true."

Nope, and nope.
I'll give y'all a hint, seeing as I don't think this is a particularly well known work (although personally I think it should be, because I love it.
Think of the Pines of Rome composer...

Right! The associational clue was Botticelli, not Venus!
Trittico Botticelliano
And I won't accept "no"!
