Kandinsky: Seeing Music, Reinventing Painting

The astonishment of Kandinsky one evening in 1896 at Moscow's Bolshoi during a Wagner opera was a revelation: for him, the musical experience stimulated visual sensations that overwhelmed him...

A pioneer of abstract painting, the artist was also one of its most brilliant theoreticians, leaving behind entirely innovative concepts on the use of colors and forms.

Progressing through the life and work of Kandinsky through a constant dialogue between painting and music, the film offers an illuminating reinterpretation of his creation.
