Modest Mussorgsky composed a suite called Pictures at an Exhibition. The suite was written in honor of his friend, Vladimir Hartmann, a painter, who died at the age of 39.

The musical pieces in "Pictures at an Exhibition" try to capture in music the sketches, watercolors and architectural designs that were shown publicly at the Hartmann exhibition along with other canvasses that Hartmann had shown Mussorgsky.

Thus the term, "Where Music and Art Meet" is used to describe Pictures at an Exhibition.
