Throughout his artistic career, Wassily Kandinsky (1866–1944) transformed not only his own style but the course of art history. He pioneered a mystical, emotive, rhythmic use of colour and line, evoking connections between music and painting, which is today credited as the first purely abstract artwork. Part of the Taschen Basic Art series, this book details Kandinsky’s repertoire of vivid colours, forms, and feelings, paving the way for future generations of abstract expression. Written by Hajo Düchting, it features a concise biography and approximately 100 illustrations.
