2013 Reprint of 1947 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. In this
title Kandinsky analyzed the geometrical elements which make up
every painting-the point and the line. He called the physical
support and the material surface on which the artist draws or
paints the basic plane, or BP. He did not analyze them objectively,
but from the point of view of their inner effect on the observer. A
point is a small bit of color put by the artist on the canvas. It
is neither a geometric point nor a mathematical abstraction; it is
extension, form and color. This form can be a square, a triangle, a
circle, a star or something more complex. The point is the most
concise form but, according to its placement on the basic plane, it
will take a different tonality. It can be isolated or resonate with
other points or lines. A line is the product of a force which has
been applied in a given direction: the force exerted on the pencil
or paintbrush by the artist. The produced linear forms may be of
several types: a straight line, which results from a unique force
applied in a single direction; an angular line, resulting from the
alternation of two forces in different directions, or a curved (or
wave-like) line, produced by the effect of two forces acting
simultaneously. The book contains many photographic examples and
drawings from Kandinsky's works which offer the demonstration of
its theoretical observations, and which allow the reader to
experience the inner effect of the point and line to plane.
