Wassily Kandinsky: The Sound Painter
Description:
These are three paintings by Wassily Kandinsky, a famous Russian painter.
Wassily Kandinsky is a painter from Moscow, who worked at the Staatliches Bauhaus during World War II. He is one of the pioneers of abstract modern art, who explored the interrelation between color and form to create an aesthetic experience that engaged the sight, sound, and emotions of the public.
Kandinsky is believed to have had synaesthesia, a condition that allows a person to appreciate sounds, colours or words with two or more senses simultaneously. In his case, colours and painted marks triggered particular sounds or musical notes and vice versa.
