More quotes by Wassily Kandinsky
Color transmits and translates emotion.
Wassily Kandinsky
An empty canvas, apparently really empty, that says nothing and is without significance – almost dull, in fact – in reality, is crammed with thousands of undertone tensions and full of expectancy. Slightly apprehensive lest it should be outraged.
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
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
Objects damage pictures.
Wassily Kandinsky
That is beautiful which is produced by the inner need, which springs from the soul.
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
A world of colors on the palette remaining... wandering... on canvases still emerging.
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
Doubts must be resolved alone within the soul. Otherwise one would profane one's own powerful solution.
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
The artist must train not only his eye but also his soul, so that it can weigh colours in its own scale and thus become a determinant in artistic creation.
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
Color cannot stand alone.
Wassily Kandinsky
Colour is a power which directly influences the soul.
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
It should not be forgotten that art is not a science where the latest 'correct' theory declares the old to be false and erases it.
Wassily Kandinsky
I value those artists who embody the expression of their life.
Wassily Kandinsky
As a picture painted in yellow always radiates spiritual warmth, or as one in blue has apparently a cooling effect, so green is only boring.
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
