Description

Wassily Kandinsky's Concerning the Spiritual in Art is a seminal work that revolutionized the way artists think about their craft. First published in 1912, this book is a pioneering exploration of the spiritual in art, arguing that artists should express their inner lives through abstract, non-material terms. Kandinsky's groundbreaking ideas are presented in two parts, addressing the psychology of colors and the language of form and color, as well as the responsibilities of the artist. The book also includes nine woodcuts by Kandinsky himself, adding visual depth to the text. This English translation, revised in 1977, remains a vital reading experience for artists, art students, and patrons interested in the development of 20th-century painting.
