Wassily Kandinsky:
Wassily Kandinsky, a pioneer of abstract art and co-founder of the Blue Rider (Der Blaue Reiter), revolutionized painting with his radical departure 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 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 vibrant color palettes and expressive brushwork deeply impressed him. But 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, yet within a stricter, formal framework.
Kandinsky’s theories of abstraction and his conviction that art has the ability to make the invisible visible influenced not only his contemporaries but also subsequent generations of artists. His ideas inspired, for example, Piet Mondrian’s abstract art, who also developed a universal visual language through geometric forms and primary colors, but in a more rigid and rational manner. Kandinsky’s influence 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 vocabulary of forms, paralleling the works of Joan Miró, who also combined abstract shapes with a playful, almost surreal 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.

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!
