More quotes by Wassily Kandinsky
Efforts to revive the art principles of the past at best produce works of art that resemble a stillborn child.
Wassily Kandinsky
The more abstract is form, the more clear and direct its appeal.
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
An empty canvas is a living wonder - far lovelier than certain pictures.
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
Orange is red brought nearer to humanity by yellow.
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
Colour is a power which directly influences the soul.
Wassily Kandinsky
Each color lives by its mysterious life.
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
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
There is no must in art because art is free.
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
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
The eyes are hammers.
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
Absolute green is the most restful color, lacking any undertone of joy, grief, or passion. On exhausted men this restfulness has a beneficial effect, but after a time it becomes tedious.
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
Abstract art places a new world, which on the surface has nothing to do with 'reality,' next to the 'real' world.
Wassily Kandinsky
The artist is the hand that, by touching this or that key, sets the soul vibrating automatically.
Wassily Kandinsky
