Author: Barb Rosenstock Age Recommendation: 4-9
Have you heard of abstract art? This story will tell you about one of the first abstract painters: Vasya Kandinsky. He tried to be a “proper” artist and paint pretty houses and flowers, but he saw the world in a unique way, He painted the sound of the colors! He wanted his art to make people feel things, just as music does.
