An aerial view shows the market square of the southern Bavarian town of Weilheim, Germany painted with a copy of Russian-born French Expressionist Vasily Kandinsky’s painting ‘Weilheim-Maria’s square’. 500 mostly students have been working on it for three weeks.
Here is the painting form Kandinsky which he made in 1909.
There is a website on this project with more picture, Ein Kandinsky fur Weilheim.
You can see more pictures of his work on Flickr: Kandinsky
In a recent post on this blog as a fan of Kandinsky, I wrote about Synaesthesia and Wassily Kandinsky.
Kandinsky in whom musical tones elicited specific colours, was a tone-colour synaesthete.
On Neurophilosophy the is more on the neuropsychology of synaesthesia.

I like these colors
Yes that is what I like about Kandinsky, his use of colors and geometrical shapes. In the beginning he also painted non abstract paintings, also very nice.

Wow. That is incredible: both the picture the students are reproducing in gigantic proportions, and the fact that Kandinsky was a synatone-colour synaesthete. What a gift that would be. Music is already so full of beauty and meaning. I can barely imagine what it would be like to have an even more intensified experience when listening to music.

Yes it is hard to imagine but I don’t know if I have to be jealous, little scary as well…
