Kandinsky : L'aventure De L'art Abstrait

The richness of Kandinsky's (1866-1944) life, work and thought make him one of the very first actors of artistic modernity. His theories and his work as the founder of the Blaue Reiter influenced almost every artistic movement and school of his time, from Dada to Bauhaus, De Stijl and Russian Constructivism.

This book presents Kandinsky's work in a new way, i.e. in its true coherence and internal evolution. The author's analysis is based on the exceptional documentation to which he has had access since the beginning of his work, in the artist's own studio: the autobiographical writings, theoretical texts and correspondence of the painter, which shed a radically new light on a creative path of exceptional fertility.
