This intentional disjunction, allowing viewers to participate in the creation of the artwork, became an increasingly conscious technique used by Kandinsky in subsequent years ; it culminated in the abstract works of the 1911 – 1914 period.

Kandinsky used original colour compositions, evoking Slavic popular art.

As in his painting of the apocalypse by water ( Composition VI ), Kandinsky puts the viewer in the situation of experiencing these epic myths by translating them into contemporary terms ( with a sense of desperation, flurry, urgency, and confusion ).

Henry dedicated a book entitled Voir l ’ invisible ( Seeing the Invisible ) to Kandinsky, in which he describes his work in laudatory terms.

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.

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.

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.

Wassily Wassilyevich Kandinsky (, Vasiliy Vasil ’ yevich Kandinskiy, ; – 13 December 1944 ) was an influential Russian painter and art theorist.

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.

Kandinsky had received some notice earlier in Britain, however ; in 1910, he participated in the Allied Artists ' Exhibition ( organised by Frank Rutter ) at London's Royal Albert Hall.

Kandinsky taught the basic design class for beginners and the course on advanced theory at the Bauhaus ; he also conducted painting classes and a workshop in which he augmented his colour theory with new elements of form psychology.

Kandinsky was isolated in Paris, since abstract painting — particularly geometric abstract painting — was not valued ; the artistic fashions were primarily impressionism and cubism.

In Kandinsky ’ s work some characteristics are obvious, while certain touches are more discrete and veiled ; they reveal themselves only progressively to those who deepen their connection with his work.

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.

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 Cabaret exhibited radically experimental artists, many of whom went on to change the face of their artistic disciplines ; featured artists included Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Giorgio de Chirico, and Max Ernst.

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

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

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.

Upon returning and seeing the canvas ( but not yet recognizing it ) Kandinsky fell to his knees and wept, saying it was the most beautiful painting he had ever seen.

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.
