Fast and careful shipping with insurance.Famous as a pioneer of abstract art, but also as an art theorist, Kandinsky is not only Russian: he is above all an international artist who lived for several years in Paris, traveled in Europe, and became known for his theoretical essay On the Spiritual in Art (1911). Folklore, legends, tales, traditional painting and especially Moscow, which is for him the origin of the Russian soul, deeply mark his work. Kandinsky seeks a painting that corresponds to what he calls "the inner necessity" and that appeals to synesthesia around music and its relationship to colors. Kandinsky remains in search of a pure art that reflects the powers of color and symbolist, expressionist form. Herald of a non-figurative painting imbued with spirituality, he perpetually seeks the new harmony of art.
