Artistic movements

Abstraction

Inspiration, influence

Fascinated by colors, it is only very late that he turned to the study of Fine Arts (after studying law). His artistic commitment is both theoretical and practical!

His contemporaries

He initially belonged to the "Der Blaue Reiter" movement, then later joined the Bauhaus where he taught and saw all the painters in Europe who were seeking, whether on the part of students or professors, pass through until the school was closed by the Nazis in 1933.

To keep in mind

Inventor (or not) of abstraction, one of the giants of the 20th century! Thinker, theorist, and founder of what was the renewal of painting, after centuries of "representation of reality".

To go further

Kandinsky wrote extensively about art, color, and forms, but if there is only one book to read, it is "Point Line Plane - Contribution to the Analysis of Pictorial Elements", still a reference today for all visual artists.
