Wassily Kandinsky Biography

Russian in full VASILY VASILYEVICH KANDINSKY, Vasily Kandinsky, Kandinski, Василий Кандинский
(b. Dec. 4 [Dec. 16, New Style], 1866, Moscow, Russia--d. Dec. 13, 1944, Neuilly-sur-Seine, Fr.)

One of the first creators of pure abstraction in modern painting. After successful avant-garde exhibitions, Wassily Kandinsky founded the influential Munich group Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider; 1911-14) and began completely abstract painting. His forms evolved from fluid and organic to geometric and, finally, to pictographic.

Kandinsky vasily once said 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. The concept that color and musical harmony are linked has a long history, intriguing scientists such as Sir Isaac Newton. Kandinsky Wassily used color in a highly theoretical way associating tone with timbre (the sound's character), hue with pitch, and saturation with the volume of sound. Vassily Kandinsky even claimed that when he saw color he heard music.
Born in Moscow in 1866, Vassili Kandinsky spent his early childhood in Odessa. His parents played the piano and the zither and himself learned the piano and cello at an early age. The influence of music in paintings of Kandinsky cannot be overstated, down to the titles of Kandinsky Circles Improvisations, Impressions, and Compositions. In 1886, artist Kandinsky enrolled at the University of Moscow, chose to study law and economics, and after passing his examinations, lectured at the Moscow Faculty of Law. Kandinsky enjoyed success not only as a teacher but also wrote extensively on spirituality, a subject that remained of great interest and ultimately exerted substantial influence in paintings by Kandinsky. In 1895 Vasily attended a French Impressionist exhibition where he saw Monet's Haystacks at Giverny. Kandinsky the artist stated, "It was from the catalog I learned this was a haystack. I was upset I had not recognized it. I also thought the painter had no right to paint in such an imprecise fashion. Dimly I was aware too that the object did not appear in the picture..." Soon thereafter, at the age of thirty, Kandinsky artist left Moscow and went to Munich to study life-drawing, sketching and anatomy, regarded then as basic for an artistic education.

Ironically, Kandinsky artwork moved in a direction that was of much greater abstraction than that which was pioneered by the Impressionists. It was not long before his talent surpassed the constraints of art school and the artist Kandinsky began exploring his own ideas of painting - "I applied streaks and blobs of colors onto the canvas with a palette knife and I made them sing with all the intensity I could..." Now considered to be the founder of abstract art, Kandinsky painting was exhibited throughout Europe from 1903 onwards, and often caused controversy among the public, the art critics, and his contemporaries.

An active participant in several of the most influential and controversial art movements of the 20th century, among them the Blue Rider which Wassily Kandinsky founded along with Franz Marc and the Bauhaus which also attracted Klee, Lyonel Feininger (1871-1956), and Schonberg, he continued to further express and define form of art Kandinsky, both on canvas and in his theoretical writings. His reputation became firmly established in the United State s through numerous exhibitions and Wassily Kandinsky artwork was introduced to Solomon Guggenheim, who became one of his most enthusiastic supporters.
In 1933, Kandinski left Germany and settled near Paris, in Neuilly. The Wassily Kandinsky paintings from these later years were again the subject of controversy. Though out of favor with many of the patriarchs of Paris's artistic community, younger artists admired Kandinsky. His studio was visited regularly by Miro, Arp, Magnelli and Sophie Tauber.
Kandinsky continued painting almost until his death in June, 1944. his unrelenting quest for new forms which carried him to the very extremes of geometric abstraction have provided us with an unparalleled collection of abstract art.
