The Noisy Paint Box: The Colors and Sounds of Kandinsky’s Abstract Art is a 2014 children's picture book written by Barb Rosenstock and illustrated by Mary GrandPré. It tells the story of Russian-born abstract artist Vasily Kandinsky, "who is known for his abstract paintings with colorful geometric shapes and bold strokes".[1] Kandinsky likely "experienced synesthesia, the neurological phenomenon that blurs the boundaries between the senses".[2]
The Noisy Paint Box was awarded a Caldecott Honor in 2015.
