Page "Wassily Kandinsky" Paragraph 13

His writing in The Blue Rider Almanac and the treatise " On the Spiritual In Art " ( which was released around the same time ) were both a defence and promotion of abstract art and an affirmation that all forms of art were equally capable of reaching a level of spirituality.

He believed that colour could be used in a painting as something autonomous, apart from the visual description of an object or other form.
