Wassily Kandinsky:
Wassily Kandinsky, a pioneer of abstract art and co-founder of the Blue Rider, revolutionized painting with his radical break from representational depiction toward 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 link between colors and music—shows parallels to the works of Paul Klee, a close friend and ally 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 palettes and expressive brushwork deeply impressed him. Yet while Matisse emphasized the 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 also connects Kandinsky with the cubist experiments of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, who likewise questioned traditional representation in art, but within a stricter, formal framework.
Kandinsky’s theories of abstraction and his conviction that art can make the unseen visible influenced not only his contemporaries but also subsequent generations of artists. For example, his ideas inspired the abstract art of Piet Mondrian, who also developed a universal visual language through geometric forms and primary colors, albeit in a stricter and more rational manner. The influence of Kandinsky can also be seen in the works of Jackson Pollock, a representative of Abstract Expressionism, 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 form language, paralleling the works of Joan Miró, who also combined abstract forms with a playful, almost surrealist approach. Both artists shared the aim of using abstraction to connect with deeper, universal truths beyond the visible.
Wassily Kandinsky remains a central figure in art history, whose work opened the door to modern abstract art. His theories and painting influenced not only his contemporaries but laid the groundwork for the development of abstract art in the 20th century. Kandinsky’s quest for the essence of art and his belief that color and form can speak their own emotional language have inspired generations of artists and fundamentally changed the perception of 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!
