Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pioneering work in the movement to free art from its traditional bonds to material reality, this book is one of the most important documents in the history of modern art. Written by the famous nonobjective painter Wassily Kandinsky (1866?1944), it explains Kandinsky's own theory of painting and crystallizes the ideas that were influencing many other modern artists of the period. Along with his own groundbreaking paintings, this book had a tremendous impact on the development of modern art. Kandinsky's ideas are presented in two parts. The first part, called "About General Aesthetic," issues a call for a spiritual revolution in painting that will let artists express their own inner lives in abstract, non-material terms. Just as musicians do not depend upon the material world for their music, so artists should not have to depend upon the material world for their art. In the second part, "About Painting," Kandinsky discusses the psychology of colors, the language of form and color, and the responsibilities of the artist. An Introduction by the translator, Michael T. H. Sadler, offers additional explanation of Kandinsky's art and theories, while a new Preface by Richard Stratton discusses Kandinsky's career as a whole and the impact of the book. Making the book even more valuable are nine woodcuts by Kandinsky himself that appear at the chapter headings. This English translation of ber das Geistige in der Kunst was a significant contribution to the understanding of nonobjectivism in art. It continues to be a stimulating and necessary reading experience for every artist, art student, and art patron concerned with the direction of 20th-century painting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concerning the Spiritual in Art by Wassily Kandinsky. About the Author: Kandinsky was born in the year 1866 and differently from what people can suppose he wasn't originally a painter. In fact in Odessa he went to the university of law and economics. Just in a second part of his life he will rediscover the passion for art and colours that he used to have when he was a child. The first period of Kandisnsky life and career as a painter will be based on paints dedicated to the expression of intense and deep thoughts of the artist. Is during this period that the artist together with a group of other people will give birth to "der blaue reiter" translated with the blue knight. It was a group of artists heart of the German expressionism. During his studies as artist and painter Kandinsky will meet a wide variety of sources of inspiration but topics that will most affect his work will be the colour symbolism and the psychology. To give fame to Kandinsky, or at last, to make his fame so great is the fact that to this artist is attributable one of the first abstract works of the modern art. During his life the artist will get in touch and become a member of symbolists groups and in particular will be part of the group known as the blue rose which will be (or critics think so) somehow involved in the creation of the painting: The blue mountain. In the painting the use of horses symbolize the battle of the author against traditional art in fact in the same period during which he completed "The blue mountain" he also achieved to realize many other paintings about horses and riders, actually the amount of these paintings is of at last seven. To better understand this artist, anyway, there are mainly other two elements to know and understand. These elements are the artistic movements that inspired and, in different periods, attracted the artist. Of all the possible movements to list two were particularly important to Kandinsky: Fauvism and pointillism. Fauvism was mainly known in France, it wasn't a real and officially known group of artists but they were very close to themes of the impressionism following the experiences made by Van Gogh and Gaugin. The use of bright and unnatural colours was the element that attracted Kandinsky. For basically the same reason, the artist, will spend a period close to the other group: the group of pointillist artists. Where other than the colours' use Kandinsky will be interested also to the loss of unitary shapes.

This book was released on 2014-07-09 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2014 Reprint of 1947 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. An updated version of the Sadleir translation, with considerable re-translation by Francis Golffing, Michael Harrison and Ferdinand Ostertag. Published in 1912, Kandinsky's book defines three types of painting; impressions, improvisations and compositions. While impressions are based on an external reality that serves as a starting point, improvisations and compositions depict images emergent from the unconscious, though composition is developed from a more formal point of view. Kandinsky compares the spiritual life of humanity to a pyramid-the artist has a mission to lead others to the pinnacle with his work. The point of the pyramid is occupied by few great artists. It is a spiritual pyramid, advancing and ascending slowly even if it sometimes appears immobile. During decadent periods, the soul sinks to the bottom of the pyramid; humanity searches only for external success, ignoring spiritual forces. This edition contains a new introduction by Nina Kandinsky, his widow, providing Kandinsky's own corrections and additions for a new edition that never appeared in his lifetime. She has also written for this edition a memoir of Kandinsky's development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A passage from the book... It is no common thing to find an artist who, even if he be willing to try, is capable of expressing his aims and ideals with any clearness and moderation. Some people will say that any such capacity is a flaw in the perfect artist, who should find his expression in line and colour, and leave the multitude to grope its way unaided towards comprehension. This attitude is a relic of the days when "l'art pour l'art" was the latest battle cry; when eccentricity of manner and irregularity of life were more important than any talent to the would-be artist; when every one except oneself was bourgeois.The last few years have in some measure removed this absurdity, by destroying the old convention that it was middle-class to be sane, and that between the artist and the outer-world yawned a gulf which few could cross. Modern artists are beginning to realize their social duties. They are the spiritual teachers of the world, and for their teaching to have weight, it must be comprehensible. Any attempt, therefore, to bring artist and public into sympathy, to enable the latter to understand the ideals of the former, should be thoroughly welcome; and such an attempt is this book of Kandinsky's.

This book was released on 2014-03-26 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the art and writings of Wassily Kandinsky, who is widely regarded as one of the first artists to produce non-representational paintings. Crucial to an understanding of Kandinsky's intentions is On the Spiritual in Art, the celebrated essay he published in 1911. Where most scholars have taken its repeated references to "spirit" as signaling quasi-religious or mystical concerns, Florman argues instead that Kandinsky's primary frame of reference was G.W.F. Hegel's Aesthetics, in which art had similarly been presented as a vehicle for the developing self-consciousness of spirit (or Geist, in German). In addition to close readings of Kandinsky's writings, the book also includes a discussion of a 1936 essay on the artist's paintings written by his own nephew, philosopher Alexandre Kojève, the foremost Hegel scholar in France at that time. It also provides detailed analyses of individual paintings by Kandinsky, demonstrating how the development of his oeuvre challenges Hegel's views on modern art, yet operates in much the same manner as does Hegel's philosophical system. Through the work of a single, crucial artist, Florman presents a radical new account of why painting turned to abstraction in the early years of the twentieth century.

Book excerpt: Traces the use of geometric signs by the Nabis and other French artists and relates this to the development of abstraction. The author describes some of the sources of ideas about the symbolism of geometric signs, in particular the writings of Helena P. Blavatsky, and traces the impact of these on the Nabis, possibly through the stimulus of Gauguin whose paintings from his Brittany period encouraged a mystical conception of art in which sacred geometry figured as one component. He goes on to discuss in detail the paintings of Paul Serusier, Paul Ranson, Maurice Denis, Charles Filiger, Jean Delville, Frantisek Kupka and Mondrian.
