Abstract:

The article explores the relationship between painting and music in Wassily Kandinsky’s work in the context of a phenomenon, observed during the Abstract art – the ambition of many abstract artists to translate music into painting. The theory of Kandinsky, presented in “On the Spiritual in Art”, is analyzed - the different approaches he uses, incl. the method of association. The thesis that the artist had synaesthesia is analysed, as well as studies of psychologists on the impact of Kandinsky’s paintings on people with synaesthesia.

Keywords:

Abstact art, visual translation, synaesthesia, Wassily Kandinsky, interdisciplinarity, transdisciplinarity.
