More quotes by Wassily Kandinsky
Painting took on a fabulous strength and splendor the object was discredited as an indispensable element of the picture.
Wassily Kandinsky
The artist must train not only his eye but also his soul.
Wassily Kandinsky
Color is the keyboard. The eye is the hammer. The soul is the piano, with its many strings.
Wassily Kandinsky
The spirit is often concealed within matter to such an extent that few people are generally capable of perceiving it.
Wassily Kandinsky
Colour is a power which directly influences the soul.
Wassily Kandinsky
Our epoch is a time of tragic collision between matter and spirit and of the downfall of the purely material world view.
Wassily Kandinsky
The artist is not a 'Sunday child' for whom everything immediately succeeds. He does not have the right to live without duty. The task that is assigned to him is painful, it is a heavy cross for him to bear.
Wassily Kandinsky
The world is full of resonances. It constitutes a cosmos of things exerting a spiritual action. The dead matter is a living spirit.
Wassily Kandinsky
The force that propels the human spirit on the clear way forward and upward is the abstract spirit.
Wassily Kandinsky
The arts are encroaching one upon another, and from a proper use of this encroachment will rise the art that is truly monumental.
Wassily Kandinsky
The observer must learn to look at the picture as a graphic representation of a mood and not as a representation of objects.
Wassily Kandinsky
Objects damage pictures.
Wassily Kandinsky
Color is a means to exert a direct influence on the soul.
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 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
Art is not vague production, transitory and isolated, but a power which must be directed to the improvement and refinement of the human soul.
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
The composition is the organized sum of the interior functions of every part of the work.
Wassily Kandinsky
The joy of life consists in the inevitable, continual triumph of new values.
Wassily Kandinsky
The more abstract is form, the more clear and direct its appeal.
Wassily Kandinsky
