Image
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
Image
I value those artists who embody the expression of their life.
Wassily Kandinsky
Image
An empty canvas is a living wonder - far lovelier than certain pictures.
Wassily Kandinsky
Image
Each period of a civilisation creates an art that is specific in it and which we will never see reborn. To try and revive the principles of art of past centuries can lead only to the production of stillborn works.
Wassily Kandinsky
Image
The more abstract is form, the more clear and direct its appeal.
Wassily Kandinsky
Image
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
Image
The life of the spirit may be fairly represented in diagram as a large acute-angled triangle divided horizontally into unequal parts with the narrowest segment uppermost. The lower the segment the greater it is in breadth, depth, and area.
Wassily Kandinsky
Image
A world of colors on the palette remaining... wandering... on canvases still emerging.
Wassily Kandinsky
Image
The artist is the hand that, by touching this or that key, sets the soul vibrating automatically.
Wassily Kandinsky
Image
Painting took on a fabulous strength and splendor the object was discredited as an indispensable element of the picture.
Wassily Kandinsky
Image
Colour is a power which directly influences the soul.
Wassily Kandinsky
Image
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
Image
Doubts must be resolved alone within the soul. Otherwise one would profane one's own powerful solution.
Wassily Kandinsky
Image
In the hierarchy of colors, green represents the social middle class, self-satisfied, immovable, narrow.
Wassily Kandinsky
Image
Everything starts from a dot.
Wassily Kandinsky
Image
Music is the ultimate teacher.
Wassily Kandinsky
Image
Whether the psychological effect of color is direct...or whether it is the outcome of association, is open to question. The soul being one with the body, it may well be possible that a psychological tremor generates corresponding one through association.
Wassily Kandinsky
Image
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
Image
The observer must learn to look at the picture as a graphic representation of a mood and not as a representation of objects.
Wassily Kandinsky
Image
Of all the arts, abstract painting is the most difficult. It demands that you know how to draw well, that you have a heightened sensitivity for composition and for colors, and that you be a true poet. This last is essential.
