Abstract
The article is devoted to experiments in art. Interest in them in the USSR resumed during the “thaw” period. In particular, the focus was on the synthesis of music and visual art. The author of the study paid special attention to the organizer of research and creativity in this direction, the founder of the Kazan Research Institute “Prometheus” Bulat Galeev. He was one of the first in the country who became interested in the history of non-objective art of a synaesthetic nature, making it the object of scientific research, discussion, introducing it into a cultural context, uniting those who created new art. The article presents an analysis of his close collaboration with a number of artists of that period: Konstantin Vasiliev, Alexei Anikeenok and Nadir Almeev. N. Almeev's close cooperation with “Prometheus” for several years led to the creation of illustrations for books and visual content for color-musical films.
