Description

Vasya Kandinsky was a boy who studied math and history, practiced the piano, and sat up straight. When his family sent him to art classes, they expected him to paint pretty houses and flowers. But as he opened his paint box, he heard a strange sound - the swirling colors seemed to trill like an orchestra tuning up for a symphony. As Vasya grew older, he continued to hear brilliant colors singing and see vibrant sounds dancing. He began to paint music, bold and groundbreaking works that burst forth from his noisy paint box. This book tells the fascinating story of Vasily Kandinsky, one of the first painters of abstract art. The book includes four paintings by Kandinsky, an author's note, and information about synesthesia and abstract art.
