Wassily Kandinsky was born in 1866, in Moscow, Russia. He could hear colours and see sounds.

In 1901 Kandinsky founded a school where he shared his ideas about art. He used colour to express his emotions.

In 1913 Kandinsky made the first completely abstract compositions in the history of art. They were inspired by music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygpf6mxTUeY
