There is no definite answer as to why Kandinsky painted 'Black and Violet.' However, there is a common theory that he had Synesthesia. Along with that, he claimed he heard music when painting, so that may have translated to him 'hearing' black and violet leading to creating the painting.

I'm trying to find out the same thing but i can't find anything. I think it's something to do Kandinsky having synesthesia, which is a condition where a person senses are mixed up. So when Kandinsky heard the note C sharps Kandinsky saw the colour green. And also Kandinsky said when he saw paintings he heard music and when he heard music he saw paintings, vice versa. And what i believe is that maybe when he was painting black and violet he might of been listen to music, it's just a suggestion :)

Hope that helps :)
