Wassily Kandinsky: Masterpieces of Art

LONDON - March 2, 2015 - PRLog -- Wassily Kandinsky used colour to express his experiences of the subjects he painted, not to describe them. He was unafraid of creating works deriving from painful experiences, giving his pieces unparalleled honesty and artistic integrity. A pivotal modern artist, he wove an ingeniousness and freedom into all of his works that has not been replicated since.

This book takes a look at the life and works of a modernist pioneer. Starting in his youth and reviewing his early forays into drawing and painting, we follow Kandinsky’s transition from his earlier pieces influenced by Russian landscapes and folk art and fairytales, to his later works characterised by contrasting colours and striking geometric shapes. Filled with insightful observations of how the First World War, the Russian Revolution and the rise of Nazism shaped his art, this is an excellent reference for anyone who would like to learn more about this icon of modern art. Also featuring stunning full-page reproductions of Kandinksy’s work, readers can take the time to pour over his wonderfully complex pieces.

With reflections on his life at the time of painting and beautiful full-page images, this book is the perfect introduction to the great artist Wassily Kandinsky.
