More quotes by Wassily Kandinsky
The organic laws of construction tangled me in my desires, and only with great pain, effort, and struggle did I break through these 'walls around art.
Wassily Kandinsky
The joy of life consists in the inevitable, continual triumph of new values.
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
Efforts to revive the art principles of the past at best produce works of art that resemble a stillborn child.
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
The artist must train not only his eye but also his soul.
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
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
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
I applied streaks and blobs of colors onto the canvas with a palette knife, and I made them sing with all the intensity I could.
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
Color is a means to exert a direct influence on the soul.
Wassily Kandinsky
In the hierarchy of colors, green represents the social middle class, self-satisfied, immovable, narrow.
Wassily Kandinsky
In their pursuit of the same supreme end, Matisse and Picasso stand side by side, Matisse representing color and Picasso form.
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
That is beautiful which is produced by the inner need, which springs from the soul.
Wassily Kandinsky
I value those artists who embody the expression of their life.
Wassily Kandinsky
An empty canvas is a living wonder - far lovelier than certain pictures.
Wassily Kandinsky
In general, therefore, color is a means of exerting a direct influence upon the soul. Color is the keyboard. The eye is the hammer. The soul is the piano with its many strings. The artist is the hand that purposefully sets the soul vibrating by means of this or that key.
Wassily Kandinsky
Objects damage pictures.
