From early figurative and landscape painting, he went on to pioneer a \u003cstrong\u003espiritual, emotive, rhythmic use of color and line \u003c\/strong\u003eand is today credited with creating \u003cstrong\u003ethe first purely abstract work\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As much a teacher and theorist as he was a practicing artist, Kandinsky's interests in music, theater, poetry, philosophy, ethnology, myth, and the occult, were all essential components to his painting and engraving. He was involved with both the influential \u003cstrong\u003eBlaue Reiter \u003c\/strong\u003eand \u003cstrong\u003eBauhaus \u003c\/strong\u003egroups and left a legacy not only of dazzling visual work, but also of highly influential treatises such as \u003cem\u003eConcerning the Spiritual in Art\u003c\/em\u003e. Key tenets included the \u003cstrong\u003econnections between painting, music\u003c\/strong\u003e and mystical experience, and the purification of art away from material realism and towards an \u003cstrong\u003eemotional expression, condensed in particular by color\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book presents key Kandinsky works to introduce his repertoire of vivid colors, forms, and feelings. Tracing the artist's radical stylistic development, it shows how one painter's progression paved the way for generations of abstract expression to come.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taschen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47595851776151,"sku":"9783836507417","price":2090.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783836507417.webp?v=1774991442","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/kandinsky-9783836507417","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
