More quotes by Wassily Kandinsky
In every painting a whole is mysteriously enclosed, a whole life of tortures, doubts, of hours of enthusiasm and inspiration.
Wassily Kandinsky
The sound of colors is so definite that it would be hard to find anyone who would express bright yellow with bass notes or dark lake with treble.
Wassily Kandinsky
A world of colors on the palette remaining... wandering... on canvases still emerging.
Wassily Kandinsky
I value those artists who embody the expression of their life.
Wassily Kandinsky
A painter, who finds no satisfaction in mere representation, however artistic, in his longing to express his inner life, cannot but envy the ease with which music, the most non-material of the arts today, achieves this end. He naturally seeks to apply the methods of music to his own art.
Wassily Kandinsky
Objects damage pictures.
Wassily Kandinsky
Every work of art is the child of its time, often it is the mother of our emotions.
Wassily Kandinsky
The life of the spirit may be fairly represented in diagram as a large acute-angled triangle divided horizontally into unequal parts with the narrowest segment uppermost. The lower the segment the greater it is in breadth, depth, and area.
Wassily Kandinsky
It is essential that the painter should develop not only his eyes, but also his soul, so that it too may be capable of weighing colors in balance.
Wassily Kandinsky
A parallel between color and music can only be relative – just as a violin can give warm shades of tone, so yellow has shades, which can be expressed by various instruments.
Wassily Kandinsky
In your works, you have realized what I, albeit in uncertain form, have so greatly longed for in music. The independent progress through their own destinies, the independent life of the individual voices in your compositions, is exactly what I am trying to find in my painting.
Wassily Kandinsky
The spirit is often concealed within matter to such an extent that few people are generally capable of perceiving it.
Wassily Kandinsky
The work of art is born of the artist in a mysterious and secret way. From him it gains life and being. Nor is its existence casual and inconsequent, but it has a definite and purposeful strength, alike in its material and spiritual life.
Wassily Kandinsky
The composition is the organized sum of the interior functions of every part of the work.
Wassily Kandinsky
Each color lives by its mysterious life.
Wassily Kandinsky
The true work of art is born from the 'artist': a mysterious, enigmatic, and mystical creation. It detaches itself from him, it acquires an autonomous life, becomes a personality, an independent subject, animated with a spiritual breath, the living subject of a real existence of being.
Wassily Kandinsky
Generally speaking, color directly influences the soul.
Wassily Kandinsky
Color provokes a psychic vibration. Color hides a power still unknown but real, which acts on every part of the human body.
Wassily Kandinsky
The eyes are hammers.
Wassily Kandinsky
Color is the keyboard. The eye is the hammer. The soul is the piano, with its many strings.
Wassily Kandinsky
