Kandinsky: Complete Writings On Art
Autor Kenneth C. Lindsay, Peter Vergoen Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 mar 1994
Of
all
the
giants
of
twentieth-century
art,
Wassily
Kandinsky
(1866–1944)
was
the
most
prolific
writer.
Here,
available
for
the
first
time
in
paperback,
are
all
of
Kandinsky's
writings
on
art,
newly
translated
into
English.
Editors
Kenneth
C.
Lindsay
and
Peter
Vergo
have
taken
their
translations
directly
from
Kandinsky's
original
texts,
and
have
included
select
interviews,
lecture
notes,
and
newly
discovered
items
along
with
his
more
formal
writings.
The
pieces
range
from
one-page
essays
to
the
book-length
treatisesOn
the
Spiritual
in
Art(1911)
andPoint
and
Line
to
Plane(1926),
and
are
arranged
in
chronological
order
from
1901
to
1943.
The
poetry,
good
enough
to
stand
on
its
literary
merits,
is
presented
with
all
the
original
accompanying
illustrations.
And
the
book's
design
follows
Kandinsky's
intentions,
preserving
the
spirit
of
the
original
typography
and
layout.Kandinsky
was
nearly
thirty
before
he
bravely
gave
up
an
academic
career
in
law
for
his
true
passion,
painting.
Though
his
art
was
marked
by
extraordinarily
varied
styles,
Kandinsky
sought
a
pure
art
throughout,
one
which
would
express
the
soul,
or
"inner
necessity,"
of
the
artist.
His
uncompromising
search
for
an
art
which
would
elicit
a
response
to
itself
rather
than
to
the
object
depicted
resulted
in
the
birth
of
nonobjective
art—and
in
these
writings,
Kandinsky
offered
the
first
cogent
explanation
of
his
aims.
His
language
was
characterized
by
its
desire
for
vivification,
of
the
infusion
of
life
into
mundane
things.Considered
as
a
whole,
Kandinsky's
writings
exceed
all
expectations
of
what
an
artist
should
accomplish
with
words.
Not
only
do
his
ideas
and
observations
make
us
rethink
the
nature
of
art
and
the
way
it
reflects
the
aspirations
of
his
era,
but
they
touch
on
matters
vital
to
the
situation
of
the
human
soul.
