Kandinsky stressed the impact of color and its association with music, explaining that "color is a means of exerting direct influence upon the soul. Color is a keyboard. The eye is the hammer. The soul is the piano, with its many strings.

  • Definitely my favorite pieces at MOMA

  • Born in Moscow, Kandinsky spent his childhood in Odessa. He enrolled at the U. of Moscow to study law and economics. He was offered a professorship at the U. of Dorpat.He started his painting studies at the age of 30. In 1896 he settled in Munich & studied at the Academy of Fine Arts. He went back to Moscow in 1914 after World War I began. He didn't like the official art theories in Moscow, so he returned to Germany in 1921.

  • He taught at the Bauhaus school of art & architecture from 1922 until the Nazis closed it in 1933. Then he moved to France where he lived the rest of his life. He became a French citizen in 1939 & died in 1944.

  • the sign says he was French.

  • Wish I was at that exhibition, very jealous....
