"Lend your ears to music, open your eyes to painting, and... stop thinking! Just ask yourself whether the work has enabled you to 'walk about' into a hitherto unknown world. If the answer is yes, what more do you want?"
#Abstractart
"Painting is a thundering collision of different worlds, intended to create a new world in and from the struggle with one another, a new world which is the work of
#art
."
Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944)
