Description
Wassily Kandinsky's Complete Writings On Art brings together all of his writings on art in one comprehensive volume. Translated into English for the first time, these works showcase Kandinsky's thoughts on art and its role in modern society. From one-page essays to book-length treatises, this collection presents a wide range of Kandinsky's writing, including his famous work "On the Spiritual in Art" (1911) and "Point and Line to Plane" (1926). The poetry is accompanied by its original illustrations, while the design of the book follows Kandinsky's intentions, preserving the spirit of the original typography and layout. This collection provides a unique insight into Kandinsky's artistic philosophy, which sought to create a pure art that would express the soul or "inner necessity" of the artist. With his uncompromising search for an art that would elicit a response to itself rather than to the object depicted, Kandinsky laid the groundwork for nonobjective art.
