“Painting is like a thundering collision of different worlds that are destined in and through conflict to create the new world called the work. Technically, ever work of art comes into being in the same way as the cosmos – by means of catastrophes, which ultimately create out of the cacophony of the various instruments that symphony we call the music of the spheres.”
- Kandinsky in Reminiscences, 1913
