I have always been in awe of Synesthesia. It is the only psychological disorder that is not treated as those who present with it do not view it as an impediment to daily life. Most people who possess it are surprised to find that everyone does not see/hear/feel the world as they do.
Kandinsky was one artist who was inspired by his synesthesia:

His work is currently being shown at the Guggenheim until Wednesday (sorry for the late notice)

Kandinsky has been a major figure in the history of the museum and his work even inspired the design of the building itself.
