Overview

An essential reference text from one of the most important abstract artists of all time. This slim but powerful text is required reading for anyone interested in the history of 20th century art. The book, which Kandinsky claimed had been gestating for nearly a decade, elucidates his artistic theories and his valuing of expression and spirituality over naturalistic representation. With reference to and analysis of earlier masters such as Picasso and Matisse, Kandinsky calls for a spiritual revolution in painting in which artists to express their lives in abstract terms. The treatise also delves deeper into the psychology of colours, the language of form and the responsibilities of the artist.
