"On White II“ 1923 Wassily Kandinsky
Kandinsky and Blue Rider Der Blaue Reiter 1903 Wassily Kandinsky
From 1908 on, Kandinsky’s painting ceased to be that of a dilettante, making its way towards an invention that would prove determinant for the history of painting: abstraction. Supported by a theoretical basis, the works of this period moved further and further away from reality, and, to the question that he formulated in one of his texts – “what must replace the object?” – Kandinsky replied with the impact of colours and lines. -Centre George Pompidou

Kandinsky at the Bauhaus Decisive Rose 1932 Wassily Kandinsky
: Bauhaus In 1921, Kandinsky was director of the physical- psychological department of the Russian Academy of Artistic Sciences, a structure set up after the revolution. With the artistic climate deteriorating, an official mission to Germany offered him the opportunity to flee his country. A teaching position at the Bauhaus enabled him to pursue his work, even though his position as an abstract painter, in a school that was moving closer and closer to industry, was contested.
