The Noisy Paint Box: The Colors and Sounds of Kandinsky's Abstract Art

Autor: Barb Rosenstock

Número de Páginas: 41

A Caldecott Honor Book Vasya Kandinsky was a proper little boy: he studied math and history, he practiced the piano, he sat up straight and was perfectly polite. And when his family sent him to art classes, they expected him to paint pretty houses and flowers—like a proper artist. But as Vasya opened his paint box and began mixing the reds, the yellows, the blues, he heard a strange sound—the swirling colors trilled like an orchestra tuning up for a symphony! And as he grew older, he continued to hear brilliant colors singing and see vibrant sounds dancing. But was Vasya brave enough to put aside his proper still lifes and portraits and paint . . . music? In this exuberant celebration of creativity, Barb Rosenstock and Mary GrandPré tell the fascinating story of Vasily Kandinsky, one of the very first painters of abstract art. Throughout his life, Kandinsky experienced colors as sounds, and sounds as colors—and bold, groundbreaking works burst forth from his noisy paint box. Backmatter includes four paintings by Kandinsky, an author’s note, sources, links to websites on synesthesia and abstract art.

Concerning the Spiritual—and the Concrete—in Kandinsky’s Art

Autor: Lisa Florman

Número de Páginas: 281

This book examines the art and writings of Wassily Kandinsky, who is widely regarded as one of the first artists to produce non-representational paintings. Crucial to an understanding of Kandinsky's intentions is On the Spiritual in Art, the celebrated essay he published in 1911. Where most scholars have taken its repeated references to "spirit" as signaling quasi-religious or mystical concerns, Florman argues instead that Kandinsky's primary frame of reference was G.W.F. Hegel's Aesthetics, in which art had similarly been presented as a vehicle for the developing self-consciousness of spirit (or Geist, in German). In addition to close readings of Kandinsky's writings, the book also includes a discussion of a 1936 essay on the artist's paintings written by his own nephew, philosopher Alexandre Kojève, the foremost Hegel scholar in France at that time. It also provides detailed analyses of individual paintings by Kandinsky, demonstrating how the development of his oeuvre challenges Hegel's views on modern art, yet operates in much the same manner as does Hegel's philosophical system. Through the work of a single, crucial artist, Florman presents a radical new account of why...

Potential Images

Autor: Dario Gamboni

Número de Páginas: 312

In Potential Images Dario Gamboni explores ambiguity in modern art, considering images that rely to a great degree on a projected or imaginative response from viewers to achieve their effect. Ambiguity became increasingly important in late 19th- and early 20th-century aesthetics, as is evidenced in works by such artists as Redon, Cezanne, Gauguin, Ensor and the Nabis. Similarly, the Cubists subverted traditional representational conventions, requiring their viewers to decipher images to extract their full meanings. The same device was taken up in the various experiments leading to abstraction. For example, it was Kandinsky's intention that his work could be interpreted in both figurative and non-figurative ways, and Duchamp's Readymades suggested the radical conclusion that 'it is the beholder who makes the picture'. These invitations to viewers to participate in the process of artistic communication had social and political implications, as they accorded artist and beholder symmetrical, almost interchangeable, roles.

Sonidos

Autor: Wassily Kandinsky

Número de Páginas: 120

Cuando en 1912 la editorial Piper publicó Sonidos de Wassily Kandinsky (tirada única de 345 ejemplares), ni el editor ni el público sospechaban que esa obra con xilografías y poemas en prosa entraría en la historia de la literatura y del libro como un nexo entre épocas y estilos. Y es que Kandinsky hablaba de la conexión entre imagen y texto como una liberación, como un acto de superación de las limitaciones artísticas: "En el pasado, un artista era siempre mal visto cuando buscaba expresarse por escrito; como pintor, incluso tenías que comer con un pincel y fingir que el tenedor no existía". Así como Kandinsky se aleja gradualmente de la objetividad en su pintura, en Sonidos busca superar el significado convencional de las palabras –de una lengua que no le era materna– al explorar las posibilidades de uno nuevo, producto de la tensión entre el sonido y el ritmo. En Sobre lo espiritual en el arte, Kandinsky escribe: "Las palabras son sonidos interiores (...) El uso hábil de una palabra (de acuerdo con el sentimiento poético) –su repetición, dos o tres veces, internamente necesaria– puede llevarnos a cualidades espirituales de ella que no conocíamos". Con...

- Premiere biographie consacree a Kandinsky, cet ouvrage s'attache a restituer dans toutes ses dimensions la vie mouvementee du celebre peintre et theoricien qui ouvrit le passage vers l'abstraction, ainsi que la pensee et la personnalite d'un homme reste tres secret. Appuyee sur un ensemble de sources considerables - les textes theoriques publies et les inedits, les poemes de l'artiste, sa correspondance privee et ses oeuvres qui constituent un veritable journal de bord de sa vie, les temoignages de ses contemporains et de ses proches - et prenant en compte les travaux les plus recents des nombreux chercheurs qui se sont interesses a lui, cette biographie replace Kandinsky a l'interieur des mouvements d'idees qu'il a inspires, de ceux qu'il a traverses et parfois rejetes: positivisme, symbolisme, theosophie, courants de la philosophie russe et des mouvements prophetiques de l'aube du XXe siecle. Elle le presente face aux explosions formelles de son siecle et aux debats passionnes qu'elles ont soulevees. Ne en 1866 dans une famille de marchands a Moscou ou se deroula sa prime enfance, achevant son adolescence a Odessa, Kandinsky n'oublia jamais sa ville natale ou il revint pour...

Wassily Kandinsky, 1866-1944

Autor: Hajo Düchting , Wassily Kandinsky

Número de Páginas: 104

The founder of abstract art The Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944), who later lived in Germany and France, is one of the pioneers of twentieth-century art. Nowadays he is regarded as the founder of abstract art and is, moreover, the chief theoretician of this type of painting. Together with Franz Marc and others he founded the group of artists known as the "Blauer Reiter" in Munich. His art then freed itself more and more from the object, eventually culminating in the "First Abstract Watercolour" of 1910. In his theoretical writings Kandinsky repeatedly sought the proximity of music; and just as in music, where the individual notes constitute the medium whose effect stems from harmony and euphony, Kandinsky was aiming for a pure concord of colour through the interplay of various shades. Gauguin had demanded that everything "must be sacrificed to pure colours". Kandinsky was the first to realise this and thus to influence a whole range of artists.

"The importance of Kandinsky's art and thought in the history of modern art combined with the completeness, careful scholarship, and crisp design of this volume make it especially useful."--Choice Of all the giants of twentieth-century art, Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944) was the most prolific writer. Here, available for the first time in paperback, are all of Kandinsky's writings on art, newly translated into English. Editors Kenneth C. Lindsay and Peter Vergo have taken their translations directly from Kandinsky's original texts, and have included select interviews, lecture notes, and newly discovered items along with his more formal writings. The pieces range from one-page essays to the book-length treatises On the Spiritual in Art (1911) and Point and Line to Plane (1926), and are arranged in chronological order from 1901 to 1943. The poetry, good enough to stand on its literary merits, is presented with all the original accompanying illustrations. And the book's design follows Kandinsky's intentions, preserving the spirit of the original typography and layout. Kandinsky was nearly thirty before he bravely gave up an academic career in law for his true passion, painting. Though...
