Veery: Who are your favorite visual artists and why?   
Christopher Hogwood: Overlooking any form of art that I would approach because it carried a musical content (I have a drawer full of photographs that I collect because of their comment on music as straight information), I think my feelings are threefold. One is definitely a feeling for the English pastoral, the English watercolorists: the visionaries within the English watercolor tradition which can take you through Samuel Palmer, William Blake, and many of the eighteenth and nineteenth century landscape artists. Caricaturists of all countries I have a great interest in; I like to observe what happens to an artist's vision when there is a deliberate distortion for the viewer. This is found in Italian art and in much Italian music. Vivaldi sometimes uses caricature in a very serious and grim sense, not at all comic. The third category of art that moves me is that with a classical regard for construction and architecture, and architectural styles. I warm to the Palladian style and the paintings of Paul Klee. In fact, I warm to plans or diagrams of any sort, such as architectural elevations or topographical maps.
