Quote: "Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another, to cause vibrations in the soul."
Kandinsky was inspired by artists George Wagner and Monet, he was also inspired spiritually by H. P. Blavatsky, a man who worked in the field of theosophy.
he made artworks like:
Composition VII—according to Kandinsky, the most complex piece he ever painted (1913) he also made composition ten, another abstract painting of his.
Intersting facts:
- Kandinsky married his cousin, Anna Chimyakina.
- He studied in graphic art in 1900. His teacher was happy with his work but thought the palet was too bright, so he made Kandinsky use a black and white spectrum to "study the form as that".
- Kandinsky and his friend, Franstem Mark, established agroup called blue rider (Blaue Reiter), He also named one of his paintings after the group.
- Most of his artworks were just called composition, and then a roman nuemral for the order in which they were made (comp. I, comp. II, comp. III, etc.).
