The historic encounter around 1911 between the composer Arnold
Schonberg and the painter Wassily Kandinsky occurred at a moment
when the first wild revolts against traditional art, Dada and
Futurism, had just manifested themselves. Independently of those
sometimes spectacular activities, both Schonberg and Kandinsky had
already concluded that the material and the compositional methods
they had relied on in the past were exhausted and did not satisfy
the development of their artistic ideas.
Both artists had already submitted their modes of production to a
critical analysis which resulted in Schonberg's Theory of Harmony
and Kandinsky's Concerning the Spiritual in Art, both of 1911 -
indeed the two artists had already been putting their
self-criticism into practice for some time. In Schonberg's case
this led to breaking with tonality; Kandinsky effected the
transition to abstract painting.
This book is a collection of the papers presented at the conference
on Schonberg and Kandin
