He, along with a number of other thinkers/neighbors, believed that contemporary industrialized society was doomed. However, he was optimistic that the approaching new era would bring a rebirth of spirituality. Kandinsky thought that artists would show the way to the new spiritual realm. It was important to him that an artwork not be too easily understood; therefore his forms would not be realistic. In order to communicate his ideas to a wide audience, he painted "clues" drawn from folk art & "Gothic" Christian woodcuts. These apocalyptic images were clear in his preparatory studies; then, as he created the larger oil paintings, he obscured them. The chapter headings are the following: 1. The Problem, 2. Visions of a New Spiritual Realm, 3. Involving the Viewer, 4. Experiments with Stage Composition ["The Yellow Sound"], 5. Painting as a Total Art Work: The Role of Hidden Images, 6. Folk Art: Motifs for a Vision, 7. Paintings with Thematic Titles, 1909-1913 ["Last Judgment," "Deluge," etc. ], 8. Paintings in the Composition Series, 9.
