Point and line on the plane. Kandinsky V.

"Color is the keys; eye - hammer; The soul is a multi -built piano. The artist is a hand that, through a particular key, advisably brings a human soul into vibration, ”wrote Vasily Kandinsky in his programmatic philosophical composition“ On Spiritual in Art ”, which saw the light in 1910.

A graduate of the Faculty of Law of Moscow University, he decided to become an artist in the last decade of the XIX century. At this time, radical experiments and the birth of the art of the new century, Vasily Kandinsky, was destined to win the worldwide glory of the outstanding theorist and the practice of avant -garde painting. “On spiritual in art”, “The text of the artist. Steps ”,“ Point and line on the plane ” - these works in which Kandinsky formulates the theoretical prerequisites for his own creativity and abstractionism as a whole, to this day remain one of the most important keys to understanding art of the 20th century.
