Vasily Kandinsky: A Colorful Life The Collection of the Lenbachhaus, Munich

Vivian Endicott Barnett; Wassily Kandinsky; Helmut Friedel; Stadtische Galerie Im Lenbachhaus Munchen

Synopsis:
Vasily Kandinsky is the most comprehensive and fully illustrated account of the Russian artist's early work, from 1900 to 1914, when he made his radical shift to abstraction--and in so doing altered the very concept of art itself. Noted Kandinsky expert Vivian Endicott Barnett illuminates the life and work of the artist, beginning with the sketches made during his student years in Munich and the small oil studies, woodcuts, and landscapes he made before progressing to abstraction. Included as well are the important paintings from the series of Improvisations, Impressions, and Compositions, and later works from his Bauhaus and Paris years.
