Doubts must be resolved alone within the soul. Otherwise one would profane one's own powerful solution.

More quotes by 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
That is beautiful which is produced by the inner need, which springs from the soul.
Wassily Kandinsky
Each color lives by its mysterious life.
Wassily Kandinsky
Color cannot stand alone.
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
Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another, to cause vibrations in the soul.
Wassily Kandinsky
The artist is not a 'Sunday child' for whom everything immediately succeeds. He does not have the right to live without duty. The task that is assigned to him is painful, it is a heavy cross for him to bear.
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 composition is the organized sum of the interior functions of every part of the work.
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
Everything starts from a dot.
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 force that propels the human spirit on the clear way forward and upward is the abstract spirit.
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 let myself go. I thought little of the houses and trees, but applied colour stripes and spots to the canva... Within me sounded the memory of early evening in Moscow, before my eyes was the strong, colour-saturated scale of the Munich light and atmosphere, which thundered deeply in the shadows.
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
Every artist, as child of his age, is impelled to express the spirit of his age.
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 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
A world of colors on the palette remaining... wandering... on canvases still emerging.
Wassily Kandinsky
