“The Noisy Paint Box: The Colours and Sounds of Kandinsky’s Abstract” is a fantastic story written by Barb Rosenstock and illustrated by Mary Grandpre. This is a story about a boy named Kandinsky, his aunt gives him a paint box but with this paint box Kandinsky uncovers a huge part of his life. As he starts to paint he realizes he can hear colours and can match them with musical notes. A connection I made to this story was a text to text when I read a book about Albert Einstein, Einstein is credited as the father of modern physics just as Kandinsky is credited as the father of abstract art. There are many similarities between Einstein and Kandinsky, both of them were important to there respective subjects and both were thought to be wrong for example, Kandinsky’s art was though to be inferior or mediocre and Einstein was thought to be crazy and a madman. But both were essential people for there subjects.
