Kandinsky: Absolut Abstrakt

This catalog from the first venue of an exhibit traveling through Europe and America celebrates the highlights of Kandinsky’s career through full-page color illustrations as well as the commentary of experts. Featuring ninety-five works that were decisive in Kandinsky’s development as an artist and theorist, this catalog to the exhibit offers reproductions of the paintings as well as photographs from the artist’s life and works not included in the exhibition. A variety of critical perspectives are offered by Kandinsky scholars. Each of the artist’s major periods is presented in the retrospective, including his work in Munich and early association with the Blue Rider Group around 1912, his work in Russia and then in Germany at the Bauhaus School in the 1920s and early 1930s as well as his years in Paris from 1933 to 1944 where he refined his theories of abstract art.
