More quotes by Wassily Kandinsky
Barriers are continually being made out of... new values which have overturned the barriers of the past. Thus one sees that it is not basically the new value that is of prime importance, but rather the spirit that is revealed in this value, as well as the freedom necessary for this revelation.
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
To create a work of art is to create the world.
Wassily Kandinsky
The spirit is often concealed within matter to such an extent that few people are generally capable of perceiving it.
Wassily Kandinsky
It is essential that the painter should develop not only his eyes, but also his soul, so that it too may be capable of weighing colors in balance.
Wassily Kandinsky
Colour is a power which directly influences the soul.
Wassily Kandinsky
Only just now awakening after years of materialism, our soul is still infected with the despair born of unbelief, of lack of purpose and aim.
Wassily Kandinsky
The artist must be blind to distinction between 'recognized' or 'unrecognized' conventions of form, deaf to the transitory teaching and demands of his particular age.
Wassily Kandinsky
Every work of art is the child of its age and, in many cases, the mother of our emotions. It follows that each period of culture produces an art of its own which can never be repeated.
Wassily Kandinsky
The artist is the hand that, by touching this or that key, sets the soul vibrating automatically.
Wassily Kandinsky
Objects damage pictures.
Wassily Kandinsky
Everything starts from a dot.
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
The impact of the acute angle of a triangle on a circle produces an effect no less powerful than the finger of God touching the finger of Adam in Michelangelo.
Wassily Kandinsky
The joy of life consists in the inevitable, continual triumph of new values.
Wassily Kandinsky
There is no must in art because art is free.
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
Color is the keyboard. The eye is the hammer. The soul is the piano, with its many strings.
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
Today is the great day of one of the revelations of this world. The interrelationships of these individual realms were illumined as by a flash of lightning they burst unexpected, frightening, and joyous out of the darkness. Never were they so strongly tied together and never so sharply divided.
Wassily Kandinsky
