More quotes by Wassily Kandinsky
… lend your ears to music, open your eyes to painting, and … stop thinking! Just ask yourself whether the work has enabled you to “walk about” into a hitherto unknown world. If the answer is yes, what more do you want?
Wassily Kandinsky
Color is the keyboard. The eye is the hammer. The soul is the piano, with its many strings.
Wassily Kandinsky
The deeper the blue becomes, the more strongly it calls man towards the infinite, awakening in him a desire for the pure and, finally, for the supernatural The brighter it becomes, the more it loses its sound, until it turns into silent stillness and becomes white.
Wassily Kandinsky
Doubts must be resolved alone within the soul. Otherwise one would profane one's own powerful solution.
Wassily Kandinsky
Every man who steeps himself in the spiritual possibilities of his heart is a valuable helper in the building of the spiritual pyramid which will someday reach to heaven.
Wassily Kandinsky
Almost without exception, blue refers to the domain of abstraction and immateriality.
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
Color cannot stand alone.
Wassily Kandinsky
Every work of art is the child of its time, often it is the mother of our emotions.
Wassily Kandinsky
Color is a means to exert a direct influence on the soul.
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
Everything shows me its face, its innermost being, its secret soul, which is more often silent than heard.
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
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
Colour is a power which directly influences the soul.
Wassily Kandinsky
Each period of a civilisation creates an art that is specific in it and which we will never see reborn. To try and revive the principles of art of past centuries can lead only to the production of stillborn works.
Wassily Kandinsky
All methods are sacred if they are internally necessary. All methods are sins if they are not justified by internal necessity.
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
When I was thirteen or fourteen I bought a paintbox with oil paints from money slowly saved up. The feeling I had at the time - or better - the experience of color coming slowly out of the tube - is with me to this day.
Wassily Kandinsky
There is only one road to follow, that of analysis of the basic elements in order to arrive ultimately at an adequate graphic expression.
Wassily Kandinsky
