Wassily Kandinsky:
Wassily Kandinsky, a pioneer of abstract art and co-founder of the Blue Rider, revolutionized painting with his radical shift from representational depiction to pure abstraction. His works, such as Composition VII and Impression III (Concert), are characterized by an intense engagement with color, form, and sound, aiming to express emotional and spiritual states. Kandinsky's interest in synesthesia—the connection between colors and music—shows parallels to Paul Klee's works, a close friend and collaborator in the Blue Rider, who also used abstract forms to visualize inner worlds.

Kandinsky's early works, which still contain figurative elements, show the influence of artists like Henri Matisse and the Fauves, whose vivid color palettes and expressive brushwork deeply impressed him. Yet while Matisse emphasized decorative and sensuous quality of color, Kandinsky sought to use color as a means of direct communication of emotions and spiritual ideas. This search for a universal non-representational visual language links Kandinsky with the cubist experiments of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, who also questioned traditional representation in art, but within a stricter, more formal framework.

Kandinsky's theories of abstraction and his belief that art can make the unseen visible influenced not only his contemporaries but also subsequent generations of artists. Thus his ideas inspired the abstract art of Piet Mondrian, who also developed a universal visual language through geometric forms and primary colors, but in a stricter and more rational way. Also visible in the works of Jackson Pollock, a representative of Abstract Expressionism, Kandinsky's influence, particularly in the idea that painting can be a direct expression of the inner self.

In his later phase Kandinsky returned to a more organic, flowing formal language reminiscent of Joan Miró, who also combined abstract forms with a playful, almost surrealistic approach. Both artists shared the aim of, through abstraction, establishing a connection to deeper, universal truths beyond the visible.

Wassily Kandinsky remains a central figure in art history, whose work opened the door to modern abstract art.

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!
