One of the four colors - from the 28-minute audio
cycle accompanied by choreographed lighting effects that charge the foggy
room with four consecutive color segments.

Artists have always experienced the synesthetic
experience of associating color with sound. Wassily Kandinsky and
Paul Klee, the first artists to break from representation
and enter abstraction, may have been able to make that break because
of their connection with sight
and sound. Both artists played the violin and were brought up in musical
families. See samples of Kandinsky and Klees works below:

The language of music was readily adapted to visual equivalents:
tone, harmony, dynamics, composition, rhythm, pattern, color chords,
key, pitch, motif and more.
Kandinsky quote: ”Color 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.”
The link was sent to me from Anthony of Artsy.net.
As Anthony stated: “I actually worked on Artsy's new Wassily Kandinsky page, and I think it would be a great resource for your readers. The newly designed page includes his bio, beautiful images of his works, exclusive articles about Kandinsky, as well as his up-to-date exhibitions – it's a unique Kandinsky resource.”
