About the artist :
Wassily Kandinsky (1866–1944) was a Russian painter and art theorist, known as one of the pioneers of abstract art. Born in Moscow, he initially pursued a career in law and economics but turned to art in his 30s. Influenced by music, color theory, and spirituality, Kandinsky sought to create art that evoked emotions without relying on physical forms.
In the early 20th century, Kandinsky began experimenting with abstract forms, culminating in works like his “Improvisation” and “Composition” series. His 1911 book, "Concerning the Spiritual in Art," outlined his belief in the spiritual power of colors and shapes. He taught at the Bauhaus in Germany, where he refined his geometric abstraction.
Forced to leave Germany due to the rise of the Nazis, Kandinsky spent his final years in Paris, creating works with organic shapes and softer tones. His revolutionary ideas and art influenced modern movements like Abstract Expressionism. Kandinsky remains a central figure in 20th-century art, celebrated for his role in defining non-representational painting. See less
