We recreated Composition VIII by Wassily Kandinsky (1866–1944) as a 3D Finite Element model at the canvas's real size, 1.4 × 2 m, and ran a drop test of every reconstructed 3D shape. The painting is in the public domain. We first vectorized a high-resolution scan of it using a collection of image processing algorithms that identified 37 continuous hatch lines and 88 2D cells. We next applied the
