Concerning the Spiritual in Art - The Original Classic Edition

"A pioneering work in the movement to free art from its traditional bonds to material reality, this book is one of the most important documents in the history of modern art. Written by the famous nonobjective painter Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944), it explains Kandinsky's own theory of painting and crystallizes the ideas that were influencing many other modern artists of the period. Along with his own ground-breaking paintings, this book had a tremendous impact on the development of modern art. The first part issues a call for a spiritual revolution in painting that will let artists express their own inner lives in abstract, non-material terms. Just as musicians do not depend upon the material world for their music, so artists should not have to depend upon the material world for their art. In the second part, Kandinsky discusses the psychology of colors, the language of form and color, and the responsibilities of the artist. An Introduction by the translator offers additional explanation of Kandinsky's art and theories"--From publisher description.

  • "Ecrit en 1910, ce texte est considéré comme un texte théorique essentiel parmi ceux qui ont changé le court de l'art moderne."
  • ""Nell'agosto del 1910, a Murnau in Baviera, Wassily Kandinsky termina uno degli scritti più singolari del secolo. Si intitola "Lo spirituale nell'arte". Non è una dichiarazione di poetica, non è un trattato di estetica, non è un manuale di tecnica pittorica. È un libro di profezie laiche, in cui misticismo e filosofia dell'arte, meditazioni metafisiche e segreti artigianali si sovrappongono e si confondono, nel presentimento di un'arte nuova. L'aurora della pittura, che Kandinsky crede di annunciare, si riverbera anche sulle sue pagine, che ci appaiono insieme incerte e perentorie, divise tra ombra e chiarore." (Dalla postfazione di Elena Pontiggia)."
  • "This volume is Russian painter and art theorist Wassily Kandinsky's (1866-1944) explanation of the concepts that led to abstract painting in the modern era. Kandinsky recognized the connection between music and painting. He also suggests that artists free themselves from the material world so that they can express their inner impulses. According to Kandinsky, abstract painting requires contemplation to reveal its meaning. Furthermore, the meaning may be a projection of the inner life of the viewer as much as it is the inner life of the artists. This concept is not new to music but it certainly was new to painting in 1911. Kandinsky also offers insightful comments regarding his contemporaries, recognizing Matisse as the 20th century master of color and Picasso as the 20th century master of line. He faults them both, however, for not making the final step toward complete abandonment of the physical world. Kandinsky also asserts that imitative painting of other eras was a deadly trap for the artist, yet responding to the eternal call of the unconscious forces in an earlier period of art history was a valid area of exploration. Kandinsky believed that art progressed, that artistic concepts built on each other and that there was a triangle of artistic conception that moved forward to some end point, yet to be discovered. Kandinsky warns against pattern painting, which he thought would lead to monotony and away from spirituality."

  • "Concerning the Spiritual in Art - Originally published in 1911, Kandinsky compares the spiritual life of humanity to a large triangle similar to a pyramid; the artist has the task and the mission of leading others to the top by the exercise of his talent. The point of the triangle is constituted only by some individuals who bring the sublime bread to other people. It is a spiritual triangle which moves forward and rises slowly, even if it sometimes remains immobile. During decadent periods, souls fall to the bottom of the Triangle and men only search for the external success and ignore purely."@en
