like the moon, it's much more than it seems. Seems quiet and harmless at the begining but if you listen to the whole thing it moves you (just like the moon manipulate oceans) and describe every strong emotion one can feel. I admire poeple that manage to create so much beauty with bits hitting on cords. Props to Debussy.

I don't know about the moon in the art. I can tell you that some people believe the moon has an influence on your emotion and mood. As it changes phases, your mood swings from positive to negative and then back. The full and new moon are when you're supposed to feel the strongest emotions. Can be very good or very bad ones.

There's a girl I dated that's convinced her mood changes with the moon phrases. She would feel doomed during the new moon. Comfort during the waxing phrase. Kind of sad during the waning phrase. And goes crazy during the full moon.

In eastern philosophy, I think they talk about how people swings from the dark side to the light side in sync with the ocean tides. Which is also influenced by the moon.

Since the moon may influence mood and emotion, and art is all about mood and emotion. That's the only connection I can give you.

Speaking of piano music, I like listening to them to. I think these guys music are pretty good.

well that's just insanity ^ ^
but it's fine insanity leads to beautiful productions,

back to the topic:
well in fact a lot of master pieces were inspired by the moon. One more:
(though, this one is leaning on the dark side, less balanced than clair de lune by debussy in my first post, but absolutely beautiful) those were written at a time you couldn't sample songs that have been already done, those were pure production of mine... impressive. And Sad, this beethoven must have been a very dark ...=>

I am a musician and have been all of my life. Go to the above link and click on "listen to samples". The artist is one of the finest acoustic steel string guitar players I have ever heard. Not so much classical, but very moving.

For what it's worth.

Sorry. Unless I were an astronaut, the moon just doesnt work for me. My music is tied to my imagination, not to a celestial body.

At least we agree on the music.

poem by verlaine...

Votre âme est un paysage choisi
Que vont charmant masques et bergamasques
Jouant du luth et dansant et quasi
Tristes sous leurs déguisements fantasques.

Tout en chantant sur le mode mineur
L'amour vainqueur et la vie opportune
Ils n'ont pas l'air de croire à leur bonheur
Et leur chanson se mêle au clair de lune,

Au calme clair de lune triste et beau,
Qui fait rêver les oiseaux dans les arbres
Et sangloter d'extase les jets d'eau,
Les grands jets d'eau sveltes parmi les marbres.

Paul verlaine.

Well, I think the moon influence everyone somewhat. But everyone feels it differently. For some it may be more intense and other less so. And some may notice it while others don't.

Strong emotion and mood swings can very often lead to high creativity. I can say from experience that I'm very creative while I'm listening to music or do things that can create a very strong emotional response. There's a psychological disorder call bipolar disorder that causes people to have wild mood swings. Many of the past well known geniuses are thought to have it.

I don't know what your obsession about the moon is about but the first science fiction film is said to be Georges Méliès Le Voyage dans la Lune:

How is that insane? Your menstrual cycles are locked into moon cycles, just like the oceans. Your body is 70% water. The moon has great influence over our energy levels, mood and even our health

As far as moon art goes, the first thing that popped in my head was this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLOth-BuCNY&feature=related
