I found this quote on my art history book and found it quite interesting (it made me smile:)
"Color directly influences the soul. Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the hammers, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another purposively, to cause vibrations in the soul." ---Vasily Kandinsky (from Ber Blaue Reiter, expressionist group.)
despite the fact that i don't like his art aesthetically all that much, i must admit I like his idea a lot-- treating art as a means to reach an audience in a spiritual level. I don't think many modern artists attempt that.... wait--- except Antoni Gaudi (Art Nouveau architecht) of which my art history book honors him a whole paragraph (that was sarcasm--- he's my favorite all time architect).... <__<>
