Wassily Kandinsky was born in Moscow, Russia on December 4, 1866 and he was one of the first creators of the pure abstraction in modern painting.

The form of his style of painting were from fluid and organic to geometric and then to pictographic, an example is the Tempered Elan in 1944. I read that Kandinsky created his art from the music in his mind. A famous quote that he said was "Color is the keyboard and the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artists is the hand that plays, touching one key or another, to cause vibrations in the soul." Kandinsky loved music, so he used the colors with a pitch and the volume of the sound. He even said that he saw color when he heard music.

The way Kandinsky drew color was from the sounds he heard in...
