Wassily Kandinsky biography: Want to know 10 amazing facts about about the famous Russian artist Kandinsky? This art tutorial covers 10 important elements of the life of Wassily Kandinsky and is intended for those interested in art history . The video covers his early life in Moscow and Odessa, his move to Law School and his eventual move towards the arts. This art tutorial covers Wassily Kandinsky's time in Munich, his meeting with Gabriele Münter in Murnau and his early investigations into colour and the development towards abstraction and abstract art. The influence of music on Kandinsky's painting is explained and his work with the Blue Rider and his teaching at the Bauhaus are all covered, together with his eventual move to Paris and his death in obscurity. The video would be a great introduction to an art workshop on Wassily Kandinsky.

I saw an exhibit of most of Kandinsky's work at the Atlanta Art Museum way back in the early 80's. What amazed me was the pre-painting blueprints of all his works. Every line drawn out like an architect. His paintings were not " free form " in any way. Every line, circle, shape and color were all pre-chosen and carefully laid out. Just like his clothing. The exhibit was most enlightening. I felt very honored and especially blessed to have been able to see his inner workings of the man I admired so much.

@ArtHistorySchool Год назад

Sounds like a great exhibition.

If you want a deeper insight then the letters between him and Miro are worth reading

I went to the Guggenheim in NYC and saw his exhibition there and I was speechless. I have never felt so connected with any other artist or paintings. His work just spoke to me. I'm a science guy but I go to art to relax. It was the best experience I've had in a museum. The way the exhibit was set up to match the Guggenheim architecture was the cherry on the top.

@ArtHistorySchool 2 года назад

Yes, Kandinsky is very special. One day I'll get to the Guggenheim. Cheers

@AnnieFuAr 3 года назад

My heart broke at hearing he died in obscurity ☹️ But I love how much he contributed to the art world and how admired he is today, thank you for teaching us about his life! I knew nothing of it! Also I love how he got dressed up to paint. Maybe every time he painted was a big event for him?

@ArtHistorySchool 3 года назад

He was a very interesting character. I'm glad you liked the video. Cheers

@ArtCurator2020 Год назад

Dear Ana: Don't feel so sorry for him. It sounds like he was a "trust fund baby" who never really needed to work for a living, so he was hardly a "starving artist". The fact that he even wore suits while he painted showed how he flaunted his affluence. I love Kandinsky's work too, but it sounds like painting is what he did while he wasn't spending his inheritance.

@wysiwyg2489 3 года назад

Actually, Kandinsky was amazed with the fact that you can read a music partiture and play it anywhere in the world, as opposed to languages. He synthetized this concept with the idea that white and black dots can transmit feelings and emotions. This was the drive that made him experiment with his art and gradually move away from established forms, to an abstract medium to transmit feelings and emotions. Just for that, he was one of the most underrated genius of the last century. Picasso concerning shape, Matisse concerning color and Kandinsky concerning the concept.

@ArtHistorySchool 3 года назад

That is a very interesting comment. He was very much a genius.

@wysiwyg2489 3 года назад

@@ArtHistorySchool These concepts are in his books, Concerning the Spiritual in Art and Point and Plane to Plane. There is a great book in Spanish called Retrospective View which contains some of his letters to Gabrielle and fragments of other books which clearly picture -No pun intented- his thinking.

I love your art tutorials because you have such passion.

@markbenner1857 3 года назад

Love Kandinsky's abstractions but recently have really become enamored with his landscapes - which when viewed provide a sense of Kandinsky's brilliance with color. But even as his work prior to the Blue Ryder period became more abstract, show Kandinsky's superb drawing ability. In one of several books I own of Kandinsky, he recounts how one day coming home to his studio saw one of his paintings through the window lit differently than he was used to viewing it, inspired him to create the more abstract paintings he would become famous for.

@ArtHistorySchool 3 года назад

You are very right, he was an immense artist, much under-rated.

Kandinski was a major influence on my work since I first learned about him in art school in the 1970s. And, would you consider doing a video of Gabriel Munter? I didn't learn a thing about her until just a few years ago. That's a sad thing because I believe she was a superior artist in her own right :) I'd love to learn as much about her as I can, and perhaps see more of her paintings. I have a board on Pinterest dedicated to her - and to Kandinski, too, of course. And, to many other artists, as well. If I had the access to all the images i now have on my Pinterest site, wow! Art History would have been so much more relevant for my own development as an artist.

@ArtHistorySchool 4 года назад

Yes Kandinsky was an amazing artist. I think you have a point about Gabriel Munter, she was a brilliant painter. As regards Munter, I'm afraid I have a lot of artists on my list at the moment, but maybe in the future. Cheers Paul
