THIS IS KANDINSKY
Opis
Intellectual, emotional, restless, dogged, loyal, selfish; Kandinsky was an artist - and a man - of contradictions.
This genre-defying painter didn`t pick up a brush until he was thirty years old. He was an academic with a promising career that he threw away to explore the arts. He was a Russian, yet he spent more than half of his life on the road, and died in self-imposed exile in France. As an artist he is credited with history`s first abstract painting, but it was his theories that had a profound and lasting impact on the way that people understand and value what art can achieve.
Richly illustrated with specially commissioned artworks and 20 of Kandinsky`s major works, This is Kandinsky forms the perfect introduction to the life of this revolutionary figure in twentieth-century art.
