Lines, Dots, and Color: Wassily Kandinsky and Abstraction

Request Program

Wassily Wassilyevich Kandinsky was one of the great pioneering artists who led contemporary art of the early decades of the twentieth century into his unique form of pure abstraction. Ranging between subtly enigmatic and boldly explosive, especially in his use of color, Kandinsky’s art reflects his personal experimentations with the creative process. What will be studied here is how he independently produced a deeply intellectual art that was rich in visual and psychological sub-matter.
