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.
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.
2014 Reprint of 1914 Edition. Full facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Wassily
Kandinsky s contributions as a theorist were arguably more
influential on modern art than any of his paintings. In this work,
first published in 1914, Kandinsky both promotes and defends a form
of art in which painters express themselves in abstract terms
independent of the material world around them, much as musicians
do. Divided into two parts, "About General Aesthetic" (including an
examination of geometrical forms) and "About Painting" (a
discussion of the psychology of color and the language and form of
color), the work offers an insight into the mind of one of the most
renowned of all abstract painters and a preview of the art that he
was to produce in the years to come. Russian painter WASSILY
KANDINSKY (1866-1944), was one of the most famous artists of the
20th century and pioneered abstract art.
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.
