Wassily Kandinsky
Born: December 4, 1866, in Moscow, Russia
Died:
December 13, 1944
KANDINSKY'S paintings and theories were pivotal in the development of abstract art.
"TRANSVERSE LINES"
Right: "PORTRAIT OF GABRIELE MUNTER" (Just in case you didn't think abstract artists 'could really draw pitchers' like Al Capp, a complete moron, says in his quote at the bottom of this page.)
"The more frightening the world becomes
...the more art becomes abstract."
"Colour is the key. The eye is the hammer. The soul is the piano with its many chords. The artist is the hand that, by touching this or that key, sets the soul vibrating automatically."
POSTSCRIPT
"Abstract art: a product of the untalented sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered."
AL CAPP
