Wassily Kandinsky

Wassily Kandinsky — one of the key figures in European art of the 20th century, a famous painter and graphic artist, one of the founders of abstract art and the leaders of the group "The Blue Rider," a teacher at the Bauhaus, and a theorist. In the history of culture, few other artists can be found whose bold ideas had a tremendous impact on the art world and forever changed the way painting is perceived. The artist's works were based on philosophical positions that steadily progressed into pictorial images. Kandinsky believed that color is the most important means of conveying emotions and the main tool of the artist. The essence of Kandinsky's abstraction lies in the search for a universal synthesis of music and painting, viewed as parallels with philosophy and science. The artist, teacher, music lover, writer, and of course, a philosopher of the art world, Wassily Kandinsky leaves no one indifferent, because his main task was to make people feel, sense, and experience emotions. And he achieved this goal thanks to the cultural heritage he left for future generations.
