Format:Paperback
Kandinsky considered art closely paralleled music in its development and argues his theory in a series of short,but readable essays.He also includes an interesting chapter on personal abstract expressionism,from which he derives the title to this unabridged enlightening book .This gives further insight into the mind of perhaps the most 'intriguing' artist of the 20th century.

I havent got very far with this book as yet but what I have taken in is how fluent Kandinsky was in his creativity.
This book will give my own work deeper insights as I endeavour to look beyond my own reasoning to find deeper truths within all that I create. I am looking forward to reading further.

There are few books written by the Master Artists themselves and so a book containing essays written by Wassily Kandinsky was eagerly received. I have always wanted to know more about his gift of synaesthesia. Although at times I found the artistic language difficult to follow, I must say that personally, there were points of view which did inspire me enormously and still have bearing on attitudes within the art world today but that is the essence of this book; he was a visionary.

This is a fantastic short book. I am amazed I hadn't heard of it before. It only came to my attention recently when one of my students, Nic Green, used it as a basis for her essay... Read more
