More quotes by Wassily Kandinsky
I value those artists who embody the expression of their life.
Wassily Kandinsky
Everything starts from a dot.
Wassily Kandinsky
In the hierarchy of colors, green represents the social middle class, self-satisfied, immovable, narrow.
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
Everything that is dead quivers. Not only the things of poetry, stars, moon, wood, flowers, but even a white trouser button glittering out of a puddle in the street... Everything has a secret soul, which is silent more often than it speaks.
Wassily Kandinsky
There is no must in art because art is free.
Wassily Kandinsky
The more abstract is form, the more clear and direct its appeal.
Wassily Kandinsky
Abstract art places a new world, which on the surface has nothing to do with 'reality,' next to the 'real' world.
Wassily Kandinsky
With few exceptions, music has been for some centuries the art which has devoted itself not to the reproduction of natural phenomena, but rather to the expression of the artist's soul, in musical sound.
Wassily Kandinsky
The artist must have something to say, for mastery over form is not his goal but rather the adapting of form to its inner meaning.
Wassily Kandinsky
The spirit, like the body, can be strengthened and developed by frequent exercise. Just as the body, if neglected, grows weaker and finally impotent, so the spirit perishes if untended.
Wassily Kandinsky
Doubts must be resolved alone within the soul. Otherwise one would profane one's own powerful solution.
Wassily Kandinsky
In place of an intensive cooperation among artists, there is a battle for goods. Hatred, partisanship, cliques, jealousy, and intrigues are the natural consequences of an aimless, materialist art.
Wassily Kandinsky
Every work of art is the child of its time, often it is the mother of our emotions.
Wassily Kandinsky
Every phenomenon can be experienced in two ways. These two ways are not arbitrary, but are bound up with the phenomenon – developing out of its nature and characteristics : Externally – or – inwardly.
Wassily Kandinsky
Empty canvas. In appearance - really empty, silent, indifferent. Stunned, almost. In effect - full of tensions, with thousand subdued voices, heavy with expectations. A little frightened because it may be violated
Wassily Kandinsky
Almost without exception, blue refers to the domain of abstraction and immateriality.
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
Whether the psychological effect of color is direct...or whether it is the outcome of association, is open to question. The soul being one with the body, it may well be possible that a psychological tremor generates corresponding one through association.
Wassily Kandinsky
Each color lives by its mysterious life.
Wassily Kandinsky
