Kandinsky. Dominant Curve, 1936.

I am struck by how much this #painting resembles a computer UI with widgets and wallpaper.

Around 2000 I was asked to design a "futuristic Blackberry-like handheld phone-pc combo" for a security presentation on what was coming down the tech pipeline. And you know what? I didn't do a bad job, 7 years before the iphone, considering I couldn't imagine a touchscreen at the time. I wonder if Kandinsky wasn't somehow channeling a future experience.
