Pioneering work by the great modernist painter, considered by many to be the father of abstract art and a leader in the movement to free art from traditional bonds. Kandinsky's provocative thoughts on color theory, nature of art. Analysis of Picasso, Matisse, earlier masters. 12 illustrations.
Point and Line to Plane can be seen as a continuation of Wassily
Kandinsky's seminal treatise On the Spiritual in Art. Kandinsky's
thesis is that different constellations of point, line and surface
have different emotional effects on the viewer. Starting from the
point (which represents the most concentrated and minimal graphic
form), he understands all painterly forms as being a play of forces
and counterforces: of contrasts.
Aparecido en 1926, Punto y linea sobre el plano es la continuacion
organica de otro texto de Kandinsky tambien publicado por Paidos,
De lo espiritual en el arte, y debe su origen, en su mayor parte, a
la tarea que su autor habia asumido en la Bauhaus desde 1922. En
efecto, tanto en su pintura como en sus ideas esteticas, Kandinsky
mostro siempre una personalidad absolutamente vanguardista y
provocadora de acaloradas polemicas. Y, en este sentido, la
presente obra es uno de sus trabajos fundamentales, ya que, a la
par que una esclarecedora contribucion al analisis de los elementos
esenciales del quehacer pictorico, constituye una aportacion basica
a la busqueda de un metodo generico para las investigaciones de las
ciencias artisticas. El libro, finalmente, tambien revela a
Kandinsky como un artista apasionado y siempre deseoso de explicar
y explicarse las razones primeras y mas profundas de esa extrana y
singular aventura que es la creacion artistica.
In this famous work by a pioneer in the movement to free art from the bonds of tradition-a work long considered essential to understanding the evolution of 20th-century art-Kandinsky explores the role of the line, point and other key elements of non-objective painting. 127 illustrations.
