More quotes by Wassily Kandinsky

Image
In your works, you have realized what I, albeit in uncertain form, have so greatly longed for in music. The independent progress through their own destinies, the independent life of the individual voices in your compositions, is exactly what I am trying to find in my painting.
Wassily Kandinsky
Image
The artist is the hand that, by touching this or that key, sets the soul vibrating automatically.
Wassily Kandinsky
Image
To create a work of art is to create the world.
Wassily Kandinsky
Image
Color transmits and translates emotion.
Wassily Kandinsky
Image
Everything shows me its face, its innermost being, its secret soul, which is more often silent than heard.
Wassily Kandinsky

Wassily Kandinsky
Image
Doubts must be resolved alone within the soul. Otherwise one would profane one's own powerful solution.
Wassily Kandinsky
Image
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
Image
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
Image
An empty canvas is a living wonder - far lovelier than certain pictures.
Wassily Kandinsky
Image
Orange is red brought nearer to humanity by yellow.
Wassily Kandinsky
Image
The true work of art is born from the 'artist': a mysterious, enigmatic, and mystical creation. It detaches itself from him, it acquires an autonomous life, becomes a personality, an independent subject, animated with a spiritual breath, the living subject of a real existence of being.
Wassily Kandinsky
Image
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
Image
I value those artists who embody the expression of their life.
Wassily Kandinsky
Image
Color is the keyboard. The eye is the hammer. The soul is the piano, with its many strings.
Wassily Kandinsky
Image
In their pursuit of the same supreme end, Matisse and Picasso stand side by side, Matisse representing color and Picasso form.
Wassily Kandinsky
Image
Music is the ultimate teacher.
Wassily Kandinsky
Image
Generally speaking, color directly influences the soul.

Image
The more abstract is form, the more clear and direct its appeal.
