Kandinsky:
Wassily Kandinsky, one of the pioneers of abstract art, revolutionized painting with his unique fusion of color, form, and inner expression. Inspired by music and spirituality, he regarded art as a means of conveying emotional and mental states. His works evolved from early, more figurative compositions to completely abstract images in which color and line exist without figurative references.
Kandinsky was a co-founder of the artists' group Der Blaue Reiter, together with Franz Marc, August Macke and Gabriele Münter. This movement, influenced by the expressive use of color in Fauvism and the symbolic ideas of Paul Gauguin and Odilon Redon, sought a deeper, spiritual dimension in art. In particular, Paul Cézanne and Vincent van Gogh had a major influence on Kandinsky’s understanding of color and form.
His works show parallels to the Cubism of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, yet with a stronger focus on dynamism and color. With Piet Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg he shared an interest in dissolving representational painting, but while they worked in strictly geometric terms, Kandinsky favored organic, flowing compositions. His ideas on the effects of colors and shapes influenced artists such as Robert and Sonia Delaunay, who developed Orphism as a distinct direction of abstract art.
As a teacher at the Bauhaus in Weimar and Dessau, Kandinsky collaborated with artists like Paul Klee, Lyonel Feininger, and László Moholy-Nagy. Bauhaus theories on the synthesis of art, design, and architecture shaped his work as much as the Constructivist ideas of El Lissitzky, Naum Gabo, and Kazimir Malevich.
His influence reached far beyond his own generation. Abstract Expressionist artists like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Franz Kline adopted his ideas about the emotional power of color and the rhythmic composition. Later artists such as Cy Twombly or Gerhard Richter also engaged with Kandinsky’s theoretical considerations.
With his revolutionary vision of understanding art as a pure expression of the inner life, Wassily Kandinsky profoundly shaped modern painting. His work remains a milestone on the path to abstraction and a key to understanding art as a universal, emotional language.
Seller's Story
We have been operating several online shops in the art trade for over 20 years. On the one hand, we specialize in rare art prints, exhibition posters and collectible reproductions, and on the other hand, we trade in art editions and originals by well-known contemporary artists.
The works we offer all come from the respective publishers, art galleries and institutions such as museums that published them in close cooperation with the artists. The works you find with us are often several decades old, in perfect or good condition and without a previous private owner.
We place particular emphasis on professional packaging. Nothing is more annoying than purchasing a rare print that arrives damaged due to poor or inadequate packaging.
If you have any questions about the works on offer, we are always happy to help you!
