Description:
|
|
From the early 1910s onwards, Kandinsky turned his back on the depiction of the world of external appearances, embarking instead on the creation of wholly-abstract canvases, like Painting with Three Spots, which led to his being hailed as the great pioneer of non-objective art. These works express Kandinsky’s desire to create a pictorial equivalent of music, using a style capable of arousing emotions which, far removed from external realities, would become the expression of the artist’s inner strength. Wassily Kandinsky was the leader of the Munich Expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider); this was painted in Munich, before he returned to Russia later that year.
