Artists Paul Klee, Lyonel Feininger and Vassily Kandinsky were deeply moved by music, and they played musical instruments. View and interpret paintings by these artists through sound, like clapping a rhythm to what you see. Then, create a watercolor painting while listening to music from the era of Klee, Feininger and Kandinsky—including the very songs that inspired them.
