In his book "A Whole New Mind," Daniel Pink describes the aptitude of Symphony as the ability to synthesize, or to put pieces together. Symphony is the capacity to see relationships, detect broad patterns, and to create by combining diverse elements together. The artist Wassily Kandinsky exemplifies Symphonic thinking. A pioneer in nonobjective painting, Kandinsky's artwork explores the relationships between music and art, as well as shapes and colors. In this article, the author profiles Wassily Kandinsky and talks about "Composition 8," which Kandinsky considered the high point of his post-WWI achievement. The work is illustrative of Kandinsky's move from the objective art, which is observed from the natural world, towards the nonobjective, in which he uses invented forms, shapes, and color to evoke emotional associations within the viewer.
