Play around with the controls at the bottom right to create geometric art with a kaleidoscope motion!
Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944) was a Russian-born artist who is often credited as being one of the first modern artists to create abstract art. His interest in art developed later than one might expect, as he decided to go to art school at age 30 after an early career teaching law and economics. Music was an inspiration in Kandinsky's development as an abstract artist, and he often used musical terms, such as "improvisation" and "composition" to title his paintings. The painting which serves as the background for the kaleidoscope game above is titled Composition VII from 1923. Kandinsky's goal was to use brilliant color with geometric shapes and lines to create images that had no symbolic, figurative, or narrative elements.
