Wassily Kandinsky: 4 pictures in a set, framed

Product information "Wassily Kandinsky: 4 pictures in a set, framed"

The Berlin Secession exhibited his work, he was a member of the Neue Künstlervereinigung München and co-founder of the 'Blaue Reiter' - Wassily Kandinsky was involved in many of the art revolutions of the early 20th century. Around 1913, he finally broke away from representationalism in painting, eventually leaving the world of objects behind him entirely and concentrating on graphic elements, construction and (colour) composition. 'Ten glances at the canvas, one glance at the palette, half a glance at nature' is how he described his working method, which he underpinned theoretically in his famous Bauhaus treatise 'Point and Line to Surface' in 1926.
