Wassily Kandinsky

Wassily Kandinsky, born on December 16, 1866 in Moscow, Russia, is considered one of the pioneers of abstract art in the 20th century. Kandinsky originally began studying law and economics before turning fully to art. At the age of 30, he moved to Munich to study painting, which marked the beginning of his revolutionary career in the art world. Kandinsky's early works were influenced by Russian folk art and the Impressionists, but his style changed radically as he began to push the boundaries of representation and focus on color and form.

His theory that colors and shapes have a direct effect on the soul led Kandinsky to create abstract works that did not depict recognizable objects or scenes. He believed that art had the ability to convey spiritual values ​​and sought to create a universal language of art that could be understood across cultural and geographical boundaries. Kandinsky was also a co-founder of the artists' group Der Blaue Reiter, which played a central role in the development of modern art in Europe. His influence on 20th century art is undeniable, and his theories about colors and shapes continue to inspire artists today.

Interesting fact:

Kandinsky was not only a groundbreaking painter, but also a talented musician. He played the cello and the piano and believed in a deep connection between music and painting. He often described colors in musical terms and strove to compose his paintings the way a musician composes a piece, using harmony and disharmony in his works to evoke emotional responses.
