"Music is the ultimate teacher ... Colour is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings, the artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another to cause vibrations in the soul.
Wassily Kandinsky 1866 - 1944
influential Russian painter, father of Abstract Art
Kandinsky was fascinated by the relationship between music and painting. His understanding of the emotional power of form and colour can be inspirational to quilters too.Yellow - warm, cheeky and exciting, disturbing, loud, sharp trumpets, high fanfares
