So, the painted work is accompanied with a group of texts that at the same time clarify his work and make Kandinsky one of the main theorists of art.

Originally influenced by the sound poetry of Wassily Kandinsky, and the Blaue Reiter Almanac that Kandinsky had edited with Marc, artists ' books, periodicals, manifestoes and absurdist theatre were central to each of Dada's main incarnations.

These were constructed freely, based upon the subconscious will, unmediated by the conscious, anticipating the main shared ideal of the composer's relationship with the painter Wassily Kandinsky.

* 1944 – Wassily Kandinsky, Russian-born French artist ( b. 1866 )

Writing of the " artist as prophet " in his book, Concerning the Spiritual In Art, Kandinsky created paintings in the years immediately preceding World War I showing a coming cataclysm which would alter individual and social reality.

As he stated in Concerning the Spiritual In Art ( see below ), Kandinsky felt that an authentic artist creating art from " an internal necessity " inhabits the tip of an upward-moving pyramid.

As the Der Blaue Reiter Almanac essays and theorizing with composer Arnold Schoenberg indicate, Kandinsky also expressed the communion between artist and viewer as being available to both the senses and the mind ( synesthesia ).

Kandinsky considered the basic plane a living being, which the artist " fertilizes " and feels " breathing ".

The ideas of German expressionism influenced the work of American artist Marsden Hartley, who met Kandinsky in Germany in 1913.

In 1911 Marc founded the Der Blaue Reiter journal, which became the center of an artist circle with Macke, Wassily Kandinsky, and others who decided to split off from the Neue Künstlervereinigung ( New Artist's Association ) movement.

His uncle was the abstract artist Wassily Kandinsky, about whose work he would write an influential essay in 1936.

The Collection includes several masterpieces, among them the painting Friedericke Maria Beer, 1916 by the Austrian artist Gustav Klimt and Untitled Improvisation V, 1914, by the Russian master Wassily Kandinsky.

Visitors can also become acquainted with two compositions by Kandinsky ’ s friend Vladimir Izdebski, who is known for his “ Salons de Paris ” series after the revolution of 1917, and also a unique collection by the famous Georgian artist Niko Pirosmani.

The last, run by the artist ’ s widow, enjoyed the reputation of being one of the most interesting galleries on the left bank of the Seine: it sponsored, among other things, the first exhibition by members of the Paris Committee, known as the Kapists, several one-man shows of Polish and Jewish artists active in France, and Kandinsky ’ s first Parisian one-man show.

The museum also displays masterpieces of German Expressionism: representing painters of two early 20th century German artist groups, Die Brücke ( The bridge ) and Der Blaue Reiter ( The blue rider ), whose members included, among others, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Erich Heckel, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, Emil Nolde and Franz Marc, August Macke, Paul Klee, Alexej von Jawlensky and Wassily Kandinsky.

This influence culminated with the addition of Der Blaue Reiter founding member Wassily Kandinsky to the faculty and ended when Itten resigned in late 1922.

Kandinsky then formed a new group, the Blue Rider ( Der Blaue Reiter ) with like-minded artists such as August Macke and Franz Marc.

He had achieved some fame by this time and exhibited with Kandinsky ’ s Der Blaue Reiter group in 1912, supporting himself through his art.

Der Sturm published poetry and prose from contributors such as Peter Altenberg, Max Brod, Richard Dehmel, Alfred Döblin, Anatole France, Knut Hamsun, Arno Holz, Karl Kraus, Selma Lagerlöf, Adolf Loos, Heinrich Mann, Paul Scheerbart, and René Schickele, and writings, drawings, and prints by such artists as Kokoschka, Kandinsky, and members of Der blaue Reiter.

He collected works by French and German Expressionist artists, from groups including Die Brücke and Der Blaue Reiter, such as Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Max Pechstein, Emil Nolde, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Franz Marc, Gabriele Münter, Alexej von Jawlensky, and Max Beckmann.

At the invitation of Wassily Kandinsky, Delaunay joined The Blue Rider ( Der Blaue Reiter ), a Munich-based group of abstract artists, in 1911, and his art took a turn for the abstract Delaunay was also successful in Germany, Switzerland, and Russia.

Der Blaue Reiter lacked an artistic manifesto, but it was centered around Kandinsky and Marc.

Wassily Kandinsky, Der Blaue Reiter, 1903

In 1910, through his friendship with Franz Marc, Macke met Kandinsky and for a while shared the non-objective aesthetic and the mystical and symbolic interests of Der Blaue Reiter.

In 1911 Münter, Kandinsky and Franz Marc founded the expressionist group known as Der Blaue Reiter ( The Blue Rider ).

He was one of the first advocates of the avant-garde artistic group Der Blaue Reiter and gave a lecture on the art of Wassily Kandinsky.

In 1911, Marc was a founding member of Der Blaue Reiter ( The Blue Rider ), and was the center of a circle of German and Russian expatriate artists with August Macke, Wassily Kandinsky and several others whose works were seminal to the development of German Expressionism.

Kandinsky was one of Die Blaue Vier ( Blue Four ), formed in 1923 with Klee, Feininger and von Jawlensky, which lectured and exhibited in the United States in 1924.

In 1923 Kandinsky, Feininger, Klee and Alexej von Jawlensky formed Die Blaue Vier ( the Blue Four ) group, and exhibited and lectured together in the United States in 1924.

Robert Delaunay, also preoccupied with relations between color and music, highlighted the purity and independence of color, and successfully exhibited with the Blaue Reiter at the invitation of Kandinsky.

Gabriele Münter and Wassily Kandinsky of the Blaue Reiter artistic collective lived there for several years.

But once tension started to grip Europe, and condemnation of the modernist movements began to rise, she had all of the art work done by her, Kandinsky, and the other members of the Blaue Reiter transported to her house, where she hid them.

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.

From 1906 to 1908 Kandinsky spent a great deal of time travelling across Europe ( he was an associate of the Blue Rose symbolist group of Moscow ), until he settled in the small Bavarian town of Murnau.

However, the group could not integrate the radical approach of Kandinsky ( and others ) with conventional artistic concepts and the group dissolved in late 1911.

Irwin whistling can be heard on his solo performances and albums, but also in appearances with the chamber music group Kandinsky Trio.

The group was founded by a number of Russian emigrants, including Wassily Kandinsky, Alexej von Jawlensky, Marianne von Werefkin, and native German artists, such as Franz Marc, August Macke and Gabriele Münter.

Wassily Kandinsky, Franz Marc, August Macke, Alexej von Jawlensky, Marianne von Werefkin, Gabriele Münter, Lyonel Feininger, Albert Bloch and others formed the group in response to the rejection of Kandinsky's painting Last Judgement from an exhibition.

Münter and Kandinsky helped establish the Munich-based avant-garde group called the New Artists ’ Association ( Neue Kunstlervereinigung ).

A non-prescriptive group of artists were involved, whose ideals and practices varied widely: Albert Gleizes, František Kupka, Piet Mondrian, Jean Arp, Marlow Moss, Naum Gabo, Barbara Hepworth, Ben Nicholson, Kurt Schwitters, Wassily Kandinsky, Théo Kerg, Taro Okamoto, Paule Vézelay, Hans Erni, Bart van der Leck, Leon Tutundjian and John Wardell Power.

Among early modernist non-literary landmarks is 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 Expressionist 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.
