Wassily Kandinsky
He was a musician and an artist!
He was born
in 1866 in Russia
and died in 1944 in
France.
Kandinsky once said:
"Colour is
the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many
strings.
The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or
another, to cause vibrations in the soul."
He didn't go
to art school
until he was 30 years
old!

and
I made them sing with all the intensity I could..."
