Wassily Kandinsky, 1866-1944
The founder of abstract art The Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944), who later lived in Germany and France, is one of the pioneers of twentieth-century art. Nowadays he is regarded as the founder of abstract art and is, moreover, the chief theoretician of this type of painting. Together with Franz Marc and others he founded the group of artists known as the "Blauer Reiter" in Munich. His art then freed itself more and more from the object, eventually culminating in the "First Abstract Watercolour" of 1910. In his theoretical writings Kandinsky repeatedly sought the proximity of music; and just as in music, where the individual notes constitute the medium whose effect stems from har...
Kandinsky
Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944) was a Russian painter credited as being among the first to truly venture into abstract art. He persisted in expressing his internal world of abstraction despite negative criticism from his peers. He veered away from painting that could be viewed as representational in order to express his emotions, leading to his unique use of colour and form. Although his works received heavy censure at the time, in later years they would become greatly influential.

Concerning the Spiritual in Art
In "Concerning the Spiritual in Art," Wassily Kandinsky explores the transformative power of art and its deep-seated connections to the spiritual realm. Written in a lyrical and contemplative style, the book articulates Kandinsky's revolutionary theories about abstraction, color theory, and the emotive qualities of shapes and forms. Grounded in the early 20th-century avant-garde movement, this seminal work serves as a manifesto for the modernist ethos that emphasizes personal expression and eschews conventional representation, inviting readers to engage with art on a profoundly intuitive level. Wassily Kandinsky, a pioneer of abstract art, was profoundly influenced by his background in philo...
The Art Theory of Wassily Kandinsky, 1909-1928
Kandinsky's theory of art has usually been treated as little more than a guide to help our understanding of his paintings. In contrast, this book attends primarily to the artist's writings on art; thus his art theory is treated on its own terms. Drawing on the diverse literature that has been written on Kandinsky's art and theory, the author demonstrates that while many different perspectives on his work have been identified, none holds the 'key' to that work. Instead, the book shows Kandinsky's method in his writings to be highly eclectic, resulting in an exciting and challenging variety of content (a description that also applies, as a postscript to the book shows, to his method in paintin...
The Life and Art of Wassily Kandinsky
Kandinsky didn’t pick up a brush until he was thirty years old. He was an academic who threw away his career to explore the arts. He was a Russian, yet he spent more than half of his life on the road and died in self-imposed exile in France. He is credited with history’s first abstract painting, but it was his theories that had a profound impact on the way that people understand what art can achieve. Richly illustrated with specially commissioned artworks and 20 of Kandinsky’s major works, this visual biography forms the perfect introduction to the life of one of the most revolutionary figures in twentieth-century art.
