Kandinsky & Physics

Still trying to find words to help me conceptualize Vasily Kandinsky's paintings. I believe his abstract vision of reality helped physicists conceive of quantum mechanics. I was amazed when I realized his work was a progression from real to abstract.

Early in his career he begins with the familiar portrayal of nature that our senses perceive and gradually moves to the world our senses can never perceive: a vision of the actual world: one which we can never grasp with our senses and can only partially imagine. A world only artists and dreamers can see.
