A pioneer of abstract art, Wassily Kandinsky turned twentieth-century art upside down by giving line and colours, which he wanted to be pure, a sensitive, spiritual and rhythmic interpretation. He intrinsically linked the work of art to the musical universe and to the expression of an "inner necessity". A major theoretician, a leading figure of the Blue Rider and the Bauhaus, he drew on the folklore of his native Russia and artistic currents, such as Cubism or Constructivism, the sources of a profoundly original art.
From Moscow to Paris, through the great European capitals, this book retraces Kandinsky's rich and eventful career. He offers us the opportunity to admire his most beautiful masterpieces and to discover the styles he experimented with, the techniques he used. Virtuosic, demanding and innovative, the man who transformed the space of the canvas into a spiritual and poetic reality revolutionized the way we look at art.
