Features: In 1910, Wassily Kandinsky, with Eastern heritage, painted the first purely abstract painting in the history of art. At the age of 30, Kandinsky set out to become an artist and rarely stayed in fixed painting styles. He constantly thought, examined, and pushed forward his creative work, as well as studied the "theory" and "experiment" of painting. Concerning the Spiritual in Art and Point and Line to Plane are both powerful works exploring the spiritual essence of art. He was not only hailed as the father of abstract expressionism but also a modern art theorist and art educator. This book provides a detailed account of this brilliant master, featuring rare life photos and over 300 illustrations that accompany his life story, love life, and the different styles and transformations in his artistic journey. It is the best read for understanding Kandinsky and abstract art.
