Wassily Kandinsky was an artist, teacher and art theorist in the early 20th century. His work was very influential in the development of modern, abstract art. He was likely able to paint differently because he experienced the world differently. Kandinsky is thought to have had a rare condition called synesthesia, which is a combining of the senses. For him sound and color were linked. He would see music and often used that for inspiration in his paintings.
