Wassily Kandinsky - Painter of sound & vision -
Upcoming exhibiton in Guggenheim
Considered a modern master Kandinsky
is credited with painting the first purely abstract works. His life
encompassed a brilliant career as a renowned painter, printmaker,
watercolorist, theoretician, and Bauhaus teacher. Born in Moscow,
Russia, Wassily Wassilyevich Kandinsky, in 1866, he lived for 78 years.
His monumental accomplishments span almost all the major artistic
movements of the first half of the twentieth century. On his way to
developing his own signature style he embraced all artistic styles —
from Art Nouveau’s sinuous, organic forms, to Fauvism and Blaue Reiter’s
shocking colors, to Surrealism’s mysteries, and the Bauhaus period’s
focus on Constructivism, and more.
