Through his exploration of color and form, he sought to evoke emotional and spiritual responses via sensory experience. As a trailblazer of Abstract art, art theorist, and educator, Kandinsky likened color to a keyboard, the eyes to hammers, and the soul to a piano with many strings—while the artist’s hand plays the keys to stir the soul’s vibrations. Known for his synesthesia, Kandinsky’s innovative works, filled with geometric and organic shapes, bold lines, and vibrant hues, create a visual symphony that continues to resonate.
Many of his pieces, titled after musical concepts like Improvisation and Composition, still deeply move audiences today.
