These " modernist " landmarks include the atonal ending of Arnold Schoenberg's Second String Quartet in 1908, the expressionist paintings of Wassily Kandinsky starting in 1903 and culminating with his first abstract painting and the founding of the Blue Rider group in Munich in 1911, and the rise of fauvism and the inventions of cubism from the studios of Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque and others in the years between 1900 and 1910.

Wassily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian, and Kazimir Malevich all believed in redefining art as the arrangement of pure color.

These include the philosophers Albert Schweitzer, Owen Barfield and Richard Tarnas ; the writers Saul Bellow, Michael Ende, Selma Lagerlöf, Andrej Belyj, David Spangler, and William Irwin Thompson ; the artists Josef Beuys, Wassily Kandinsky, and Murray Griffin ; actor and acting teacher Michael Chekhov ; cinema director Andrei Tarkovsky ; and conductor Bruno Walter.

The artists, with their roots in Dada and Cubism, the abstraction of Wassily Kandinsky, Expressionism, and Post-Impressionism, also reached to older " bloodlines " such as Hieronymus Bosch, and the so-called primitive and naive arts.

Theosophical concepts can be seen in the work of Sergei Bulgakov ( 1877-1945 ), Nikolai Berdyaev ( 1874-1945 ), Leopold Ziegler ( 1881-1958 ), Valentin Tomberg ( 1901-1973 ), Auguste-Edouard Chauvet ( 1885-1955 ), Wassily Kandinsky ( 1866-1944 ), Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan ( 1888-1975 ) and Henry Corbin ( 1903-1978 ).

The work originated in Goethe's occupation with painting and mainly exerted an influence onto the arts ( Philipp Otto Runge, J. M. W. Turner, the Pre-Raphaelites, Wassily Kandinsky ).

Empirical problems with the H-O model, such as the Leontief paradox, were noted in empirical tests by Wassily Leontief who found that the United States tended to export labor-intensive goods despite having an abundance of capital.

In 1953, Wassily Leontief published a study in which he tested the validity of the Heckscher-Ohlin theory.

Wassily Leontief was born on August 5, 1905, in Munich, Germany, the son of Wassily W. Leontief ( professor of Economics ) and Slata ( later Evgenia, called Genya ) Leontief ( née Becker ).

Orphic painters cited analogies with music in their titles ; for example, Kupka ’ s Amorpha: Fugue in Two Colors ( 1912 ) and Francis Picabia ’ s abstract composition Dance at the Source ( 1912 ) and Wassily Kandinsky ’ s Über das Geistige in der Kunst ( 1912 ).

In 1924 – 25 the Bauhaus ( where certain ideals analogous to his own were practiced ) requested a new book on Cubism ( as part of a series which included Wassily Kandinsky's Point and Line to Plane, Paul Klee's Pedagogical Notebooks, and Kasimir Malevich's The Non-Objective World ).

Wassily Leontief developed Marx's idea further in his input-output economics ( see also input-output model ).

Marx wrote this in 1864, i. e. about 70 years or so before the first comprehensive Gross National Product and Capital Formation statistics were pioneered by the likes of Wassily Leontief, Richard Stone, Simon Kuznets and Colin Clark ( the United Nations standard accounting system was first finalised in 1953 ).

And it is thought by many who think about such things that Quasimodo is the logical culmination of a school that started with Monet, progressed through Kandinsky and the cubist Picasso, and blossomed just recently in Pollock and De Kooning.

In 1911, Kandinsky painted Bild mit Kreis ( Picture With a Circle ) which he later called the first abstract painting.

In addition to these institutions, there is also an intermediate-level vocational school ( ROC Nijmegen ) and a number of secondary schools: Groenschool Nijmegen, Kandinsky College, Nijmeegse Scholengemeenschap Groenewoud ( NSG ), Citadel College, Stedelijke Scholengemeenschap Nijmegen ( SSGN ), Canisius College, St. Jorisschool, Lindenholt College, the Stedelijk Gymnasium ( formally the " Latijnse school ", founded in the 16th century ), the Karel de Grote College, Montessori College and the Dominicus College.

Born in Moscow, Kandinsky spent his childhood in Odessa.

In 1896 Kandinsky settled in Munich, studying first at Anton Ažbe's private school and then at the Academy of Fine Arts.

He returned to Moscow in 1914, after the outbreak of World War I. Kandinsky was unsympathetic to the official theories on art in Moscow, and returned to Germany in 1921.

Kandinsky was born in Moscow, the son of Lidia Ticheeva and Vasily Silvestrovich Kandinsky, a tea merchant.

Kandinsky learned from a variety of sources while in Moscow.

In 1896, at the age of 30, Kandinsky gave up a promising career teaching law and economics to enroll in art school in Munich.

Kandinsky was similarly influenced during this period by Richard Wagner's Lohengrin which, he felt, pushed the limits of music and melody beyond standard lyricism.

Art school, usually considered difficult, was easy for Kandinsky.
