Kandinsky (1866 – 1944) was a Russian painter and art theorist. Art and sound were one and the same to him, because it is believed he had synaesthesia—a harmless condition that allowed him to appreciate two or more senses simultaneously.
Kandinsky could not only see the color blue, he could hear it—he associated colors and tones with specific musical timbres. Part of his goal as an artist was to depict and share his synaesthetic experiences. The result is a painting that is complex and visually stimulating, with color combinations that reverberate.

About The Stars (Les étoiles) Wassily Kandinsky
The first issue of the avant-garde art magazine Verve had the four elements as its subject. The second issue from 1938 contained works about celestial bodies as part of the essay "The 12 Apartments of Heaven". Two of the four included prints were lithographed by Mourlot after gouaches by Kandinsky from the same year. He showed his "Comets" in a pitch black universe and his "Stars" in an abstract blue "Kandinsky Galaxy" that is reminiscent of the Andromeda galaxy. Consequently, there is a black circle in the middle of this galaxy, or rather: a black hole.About the Posters
