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.

More quotes by 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
To create a work of art is to create the world.
Wassily Kandinsky
Objects damage pictures.
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
Abstract art places a new world, which on the surface has nothing to do with 'reality,' next to the 'real' world.
Wassily Kandinsky
Orange is red brought nearer to humanity by yellow.
Wassily Kandinsky
The composition is the organized sum of the interior functions of every part of the work.
Wassily Kandinsky
The artist is the hand that, by touching this or that key, sets the soul vibrating automatically.
Wassily Kandinsky
That is beautiful which is produced by the inner need, which springs from the soul.
Wassily Kandinsky
Black is like the silence of the body after death, the close of life.
Wassily Kandinsky
Color is the keyboard. The eye is the hammer. The soul is the piano, with its many strings.
Wassily Kandinsky
In their pursuit of the same supreme end, Matisse and Picasso stand side by side, Matisse representing color and Picasso form.
Wassily Kandinsky
Each color lives by its mysterious life.
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
Color cannot stand alone.
Wassily Kandinsky
The sensations of colors on the palette can be spiritual experiences.
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
In the hierarchy of colors, green represents the social middle class, self-satisfied, immovable, narrow.
Wassily Kandinsky
Colors produce a spiritual vibration, the impression they create is important only as a step towards this vibration.
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
