In place of an intensive cooperation among artists, there is a battle for goods. Hatred, partisanship, cliques, jealousy, and intrigues are the natural consequences of an aimless, materialist art.

More quotes by Wassily Kandinsky
The artist must train not only his eye but also his soul.
Wassily Kandinsky
All methods are sacred if they are internally necessary. All methods are sins if they are not justified by internal necessity.
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
Music is the ultimate teacher.
Wassily Kandinsky
Empty canvas. In appearance - really empty, silent, indifferent. Stunned, almost. In effect - full of tensions, with thousand subdued voices, heavy with expectations. A little frightened because it may be violated
Wassily Kandinsky
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
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
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
Objects damage pictures.
Wassily Kandinsky
Doubts must be resolved alone within the soul. Otherwise one would profane one's own powerful solution.
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
In the hierarchy of colors, green represents the social middle class, self-satisfied, immovable, narrow.
Wassily Kandinsky
Color is the keyboard. The eye is the hammer. The soul is the piano, with its many strings.
Wassily Kandinsky
The organic laws of construction tangled me in my desires, and only with great pain, effort, and struggle did I break through these 'walls around art.
Wassily Kandinsky
The force that propels the human spirit on the clear way forward and upward is the abstract spirit.
Wassily Kandinsky
The more abstract is form, the more clear and direct its appeal.
Wassily Kandinsky
Orange is red brought nearer to humanity by yellow.
Wassily Kandinsky
A parallel between color and music can only be relative – just as a violin can give warm shades of tone, so yellow has shades, which can be expressed by various instruments.
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
Everything starts from a dot.
Wassily Kandinsky
