By the following year their ranks had grown to include German painter, sculptor and designer Oskar Schlemmer who headed the theater workshop, and Swiss painter Paul Klee, joined in 1922 by Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky.

Sadleir's interest in Kandinsky also led to Kandinsky's first works entering a British art collection ; Sadleir's father, Michael Sadler, acquired several woodprints and the abstract painting Fragment for Composition VII in 1913 following a visit by father and son to meet Kandinsky in Munich that year.

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

This painting is not exceptional in that regard when compared with contemporary painters, but it shows the direction Kandinsky would take only a few years later.

* Russia: Wassily Kandinsky, Marc Chagall, Alexej von Jawlensky, Natalia Goncharova, Mstislav Dobuzhinsky, and Marianne von Werefkin ( Russian-born, later active in Switzerland ).

With artists like Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, Emma Kunz, and later on Rothko, Barnett Newman, and Agnes Martin, abstract art clearly implied expression of ideas concerning the spiritual, the unconscious and the mind.

The chair became known as " Wassily " decades later, when it was re-released by an Italian manufacturer named Gavina who had learned of the anecdotal Kandinsky connection in the course of its research on the chair's origins.

The name of the movement is the title of a painting that Kandinsky created in 1903, but it is unclear whether it is the origin of the name of the movement, as Professor Klaus Lankheit learned that the title of the painting had been overwritten.

For the most part, however, Kandinsky's paintings did not feature any human figures ; an exception is Sunday, Old Russia ( 1904 ), in which Kandinsky recreates a highly colourful ( and fanciful ) view of peasants and nobles in front of the walls of a town.

The blue rider in the painting is prominent ( but not clearly defined ), and the horse has an unnatural gait ( which Kandinsky must have known ).

This freedom is characterised in his works by the treatment of planes rich in colours and gradations — as in Yellow – red – blue ( 1925 ), where Kandinsky illustrates his distance from the constructivism and suprematism movements influential at the time.

Writing that " music is the ultimate teacher ," Kandinsky embarked upon the first seven of his ten Compositions.

Hearing tones and chords as he painted, Kandinsky theorized that ( for example ), yellow is the colour of middle C on a brassy trumpet ; black is the colour of closure, and the end of things ; and that combinations of colours produce vibrational frequencies, akin to chords played on a piano.

Kandinsky also developed a theory of geometric figures and their relationships — claiming, for example, that the circle is the most peaceful shape and represents the human soul.

" Inner necessity " is, for Kandinsky, the principle of art and the foundation of forms and the harmony of colours.

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.

Finally what makes this gallery extremely important is the amazing collection Russian avant-garde with works by Kazimir Malevich, Wassily Kandinsky, Natalia Goncharova, Mikhail Larionov and so on.

For Kandinsky, blue is the colour of spirituality: the darker the blue, the more it awakens human desire for the eternal ( see his 1911 book On the Spiritual in Art ).

Gleizes ' iconography ( as of Delaunay, Le Fauconnier and Léger ) helps to explain why there is no period in his work corresponding to analytic Cubism, and how it was possible for Gleizes to become an abstract painter, more theoretically in tune with Kandinsky and Mondrian than Picasso and Braque, who remained associated with visual reality.

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.

Kandinsky learned from a variety of sources while in Moscow.

In addition to painting, Kandinsky was an art theorist ; his influence on the history of Western art stems perhaps more from his theoretical works than from his paintings.

He took pleasure in creating a series of nine such tarpaulin covers in styles varying " from Manet to Kandinsky ", suspecting that the latter could be the most effective against aircraft flying at 2000 metres or higher.

From Charles Baudelaire to Tristan Tzara ( as, in painting, from Manet to Kandinsky ; or, in music, from Debussy to Luigi Russolo ), subsequent poets would deconstruct the grand edifice of poetry that had been developed over the centuries according to the Homeric model.

However when he discovered that Kandinsky was in straitened circumstances, barely able to sell his own paintings, Jorn decided to join Fernand Léger's Académie Contemporaine ; it was during this period that he turned away from figurative painting and turned to abstract art.

The preceding art of Kandinsky and Mondrian had freed itself from the portrayal of objects and instead tried to evoke, address and delineate, through the aesthetic sense, emotions and feelings within the viewer.
