More quotes by Wassily Kandinsky
The eyes are hammers.
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
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
Efforts to revive the art principles of the past at best produce works of art that resemble a stillborn child.
Wassily Kandinsky
Every work of art is the child of its time, often it is the mother of our emotions.
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 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
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
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 artist must train not only his eye but also his soul.
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
Color transmits and translates emotion.
Wassily Kandinsky
Everything starts from a dot.
Wassily Kandinsky
To create a work of art is to create the world.
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
I value those artists who embody the expression of their life.
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
Generally speaking, color directly influences 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
The spirit is often concealed within matter to such an extent that few people are generally capable of perceiving it.
Wassily Kandinsky
