Wassily Kandinsky
Each color lives by its mysterious life.
Wassily Kandinsky

Wassily Kandinsky
Color transmits and translates emotion.
Wassily Kandinsky
I really believe that I am the first and only artist to throw not just the 'subject' out of my paintings, but every 'object' as well.
Wassily Kandinsky
Emotion that I experienced on first seeing the fresh paint come out of the tube.. ..the impression of colours strewn over the palette: of colours - alive, waiting, as yet unseen and hidden in their little tubes...
Wassily Kandinsky
