4. After looking at one of his paintings resting on its side, he discovered that colors and shapes can stand on their own as subjects of art. He was the first artist to abandon recognizable reality and paint abstract canvases.

5. Rhythm and Movement Rhythm is created by repeated shapes and/or lines. Kandinsky used rhythm to create visual movement. Viewers eye is pulled through a work by a rhythm of beats (colors, shapes, lines) and rests. What types of lines and shapes do you see? What colors do you see? Composition VIII, 1923
