Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the hammers, and the soul is the piano with many strings ~Kandinsky

By cherylmachatdorskind

“Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the hammers, and the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another purposely, to cause vibrations in the soul.”

~Vassily Kandinsky
www.cherylmachatdorskind.com
Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944) transformed color into a lyrical force, spectral and geometric musical equivalents. His work is profound and spiritual. “In Art” is a collection of his visions of art and soul, color and geometry.

Oscar winning actor Helen Mirren speaks about how she relaxes and finds inspiration by going to a museum. Her favorite artist is Kandinsky and in this video she talks about Kandinsky paintings and how they enrich her inner voice.

Please share your favorite song or painting that helps you create (here on my blog, G+, or FB).
Happy Friday
Cheryl

I found that playing piano enhances my color research (for my online classes and new book on the subject). James Dowling, (Piano Technician Guild) was needed to tune my Knabe.
