Kandinsky

Wassily Kandinsky's expression of his emotions perceptions led to the development of an abstract style of painting based on the non-representational properties of color and form.

I wonder wha this kind of abstraction has to do with the abstraction explored in Adorno and Horkheimer's Dialectic of Enlightenment?
