More quotes by Wassily Kandinsky
Every work of art is the child of its time, often it is the mother of our emotions.
Wassily Kandinsky
Doubts must be resolved alone within the soul. Otherwise one would profane one's own powerful solution.
Wassily Kandinsky
It should not be forgotten that art is not a science where the latest 'correct' theory declares the old to be false and erases it.
Wassily Kandinsky
Those [things] that we encounter for the first time immediately have a spiritual effect upon us. A child, for whom every object is new, experiences the world in this way: it sees light, is attracted by it, wants to grasp it, burns its finger in the process, and thus learns fear and respect for the flame.
Wassily Kandinsky
Every artist, as child of his age, is impelled to express the spirit of his age.
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
In every painting a whole is mysteriously enclosed, a whole life of tortures, doubts, of hours of enthusiasm and inspiration.
Wassily Kandinsky
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
Color cannot stand alone.
Wassily Kandinsky
The composition is the organized sum of the interior functions of every part of the work.
Wassily Kandinsky
The circle is the synthesis of the greatest oppositions. It combines the concentric and the eccentric in a single form and in equilibrium. Of the three primary forms, it points most clearly to the fourth dimension.
Wassily Kandinsky
Our epoch is a time of tragic collision between matter and spirit and of the downfall of the purely material world view.
Wassily Kandinsky
Color transmits and translates emotion.
Wassily Kandinsky
Each color lives by its mysterious life.
Wassily Kandinsky
Music is the ultimate teacher.
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
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
Orange is red brought nearer to humanity by yellow.
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
With few exceptions, music has been for some centuries the art which has devoted itself not to the reproduction of natural phenomena, but rather to the expression of the artist's soul, in musical sound.
Wassily Kandinsky
