And when his family sent him to art classes, they expected him to paint pretty houses and flowers—like a proper artist.\n\nBut as Vasya opened his paint box and began mixing the reds, the yellows, the blues, he heard a strange sound—the swirling colors trilled like an orchestra tuning up for a symphony! And as he grew older, he continued to hear brilliant colors singing and see vibrant sounds dancing. But was Vasya brave enough to put aside his proper still lifes and portraits and paint . . . music?\n\nIn this exuberant celebration of creativity, Barb Rosenstock and Mary GrandPré tell the fascinating story of Vasily Kandinsky, one of the very first painters of abstract art. Throughout his life, Kandinsky experienced colors as sounds, and sounds as colors—and bold, groundbreaking works burst forth from his noisy paint box.\n\nBackmatter includes four paintings by Kandinsky, an author’s note, sources, links to websites on synesthesia and abstract art.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0307978486\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0307978486.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:GrandPre, Mary|Rosenstock, Barb\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Pages are clean with no markings.
