(Taschen 25th-Anniversary Edition). Although Kandinsky may not be the first truly abstract artist, he was nevertheless the first to experiment with non-representational forms in a logical manner and to evolve out of them a homogeneous style. His writings on art, including the ground-breaking "On The Spiritual in Art," have lost none of their significance, and the Compositions which caused such a furor at the first Blaue Reiter exhibition in 1911 are still full and dazzling today. This publication provides a lucid assessment of Kandinsky, the artist and his oeuvre. Addenda. Illus. 200p.
