	Wassily Kandinsky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kandinsky's time at art school was helped by the fact that he was older and more settled than the other students and he began to emerge as a true art theorist in addition to being a painter.
		Kandinsky's writing in The Blue Rider Almanac and the treatise On the Spiritual In Art, which was released at almost the same time, served as both a defense and promotion of abstract art, as well as an appraisal that all forms of art were equally capable of reaching a level of spirituality.
		Kandinsky compares the spiritual life of the humanity to a large Triangle similar to a pyramid and that the artist has the task and the mission of leading to the top by the exercise of his talent.

	The life of Wassily Kandinsky (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In 1895 Kandinsky attended a French Impressionist exhibition where he saw Monet's "Haystacks at Giverny." He stated, "...it was from the catalog I learned this was a haystack.
		Soon thereafter, at the age of thirty, Kandinsky left Moscow and went to Munich to study life-drawing, sketching and anatomy, regarded then as basic for an artistic education.
		Ironically, Kandinsky's work moved in a direction that was of much greater abstraction than that which was pioneered by the Impressionists.

		Vasily Kandinsky (1866-1944), himself an accomplished musician, once said Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings.
		Kandinsky says all this mainly with the color, which bounces and balloons over the center of the picture, roughly curtailed at the upper corners, and ominously smudged at the bottom right.
		Kandinsky's Composition VII is abstract, although if we approach it from a position of familiarity with his previous, more figurative work, we will probably conceive of the colored lines and patches as abstractions from his pictured motifs.

	Art in America: Epic Kandinsky - Vasily Kandinsky, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, California
		Vasily Kandinsky (1866-1944) was almost fatally overexposed for me in the early 1980s by three large, successive shows at the solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York.
		Kandinsky's work, in fact, became synonymous with the Guggenheim in a way that was not flattering to either.
		Kandinsky was one of the hallmarks for the reexploring of arcane spirituality in late-'80s abstraction.

		This was the start of a period of continuous acquisition of Kandinsky's oils and watercolors, beginning with his masterpiece Composition 8 (1923) and growing to encompass over 150 works in the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum Permanent Collection.
		This inaugural exhibition of Kandinsky Masterworks, opening in late September, traces Kandinsky's development from his early beginnings in Moscow and Munich to his later years at the Bauhaus and then finally his years in exile in Paris.
		Vasily Kandinsky's pivotal role in the development of abstract art, as well as his prominence in the art historical canon, will be underscored through this ensemble of master pictures.

	Guggenheim Museum - Past Exhibitions - Klee and Kandinsky: The Bauhaus Years
		The school's curriculum was organized on the principle that the crafts were united with the arts on an equal footing (as they had been in medieval times) and according to the guild system of training under the tutelage of masters.
		When the school was forced to relocate in 1925, Kandinsky and Klee also moved to Dessau, where they shared a double house from 1926 to 1931.
		Drawn from the Guggenheim's in-depth holdings of paintings and works on paper by both Kandinsky and Klee, this exhibition demonstrates the close relationship between these two artists as manifested in their influence on each other's work during this period.

		Deeply devoted to the creation of art that melds the inner world of the artist with the outer world of visual influences, Kandinsky triumphed by successfully uniting these two spheres in works of art that are amazingly beautiful, emotionally stirring, and intellectually challenging.
		Kandinsky's vision was that art synthesizes the artist's inner world of emotion and the outer world of appearances.
		Kandinsky strove to transform this philosophy from one of words into one of paint.

	Kandinsky and His Progeny
		The smaller, quieter of the two shows is "Kandinsky: Compositions," which traces the origins of abstract painting through the work of the acclaimed Russian modernist Vasily Kandinsky (1866-1944).
		Kandinsky's further error, equally devastating in its influence on the course of art, was to force painting--as well as the other arts--into an extended analogy with music.
		As Hilton Kramer makes clear, Kandinsky's "fateful leap into abstraction" was inspired not only by his revulsion for modern life but by a growing belief in the metaphysics of the occult--a belief he shared with Mondrian (whom Kramer also greatly admires), among other early modernists.

	Wassily Kandinsky
		One can also presume that Kandinsky, philosophically a child of the German Romantic tradition, was strongly attracted to Wagner's use of medieval Germanic myths and legends, including those of the world's creation and destruction, as symbols that allowed for the translation of his philosophical attitudes toward the world view, religion, and love.
		"Kandinsky's conviction that music is a superior art to painting due to its inherent abstract language came out forcefully in the artist's admiration for the music of the Viennese composer Arnold SchÖnberg, with whom he initiated a longstanding friendship and correspondence and whose Theory of Harmony (1911) coincided with Kandinsky's On the Spiritual in Art.
		Kandinsky's complex relationship to SchÖnberg's music is central to his concept of Composition, since SchÖnberg's most important contribution to the development of music, after all, occurred in the area of composition.
