Wassily Kandinsky (1886 - 1944) ,
the originator of abstract art,
believed that art could visually
express musical compositions.
An accomplished musician, he saw
color when he heard music,
and associated a color's tone
with musical timbre, hue with pitch,
and saturation with the volume
of sound. Kandinsky named his works
after musical terms. Originally
a lawyer in his native Russia,
he was inspired to study art...,
after seeing Monet's 'Haystacks.'
Kandinsky was gripped by a compulsion
to relentlessly create, and believed
that if this drive were pure,
it would evoke a powerful response
in viewers of his work.

... strikes a balance
between quality and affordability.

I would like to translate this poem
The only response to Kandinsky that expresses my commitment to his art is LOVE _ I love his paintings and his integrity as an artist. His concept of the INNER NECESSITY applies to painter and viewer alike, and provides us poets with a framework, that is, we write poems from a source deep within. In commenting on my poems you referred to the interior life in eloquent terms. Your confidence in the higher unity of life and being to be experienced within is inspiring to us all. I appreciate your appreciation of AFTER THE POET'S DEATH. Writing that poem was a delight, when i re-read it I feel delight. And the recent passing of MARK STRAND makes a eulogy so necessary.
