Books by Wassily Kandinsky

Wassily Kandinsky (1866–1944) was a Russian painter and art theorist widely credited as a pioneer of abstract painting. He taught at the Bauhaus from 1922 to 1933, where he developed the theoretical framework behind Point and Line to Plane. His major paintings, including the Composition series and the Improvisation series, are in the permanent collections of the Guggenheim Museum, the Centre Pompidou, and the Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus. He also wrote Concerning the Spiritual in Art, which preceded this volume and laid out his philosophical case for abstraction.
