Tra gli artisti più noti del XX secolo, Kandinsky si distinse per il valore internazionale della sua parabola esistenziale e della sua arte, che congiunse Russia, Germania e Francia; per il suo impegno come insegnante al celebre Bauhaus e la produzione di versi e scritti teorici; per il suo saldo e determinato cammino verso l'individualità. Nella cultura odierna egli occupa un posto d'eccezione: il posto di un artista che rifuggì la vanità e il desiderio di scioccare lo spettatore; il posto di un maestro incline alla meditazione, fondatore del Blaue Reiter e autore di Lo spirituale nell'arte; il posto di un artista che fu sempre fedele al movimento che porta alla sintesi delle arti e orientato alla ricerca di sistemi formali ascetici e perfetti.

Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944) was a Russian painter credited as being among the first to truly venture into abstract art. He persisted in expressing his internal world of abstraction despite negative criticism from his peers. He veered away from painting that could be viewed as representational in order to express his emotions, leading to his unique use of colour and form. Although his works received heavy censure at the time, in later years they would become greatly influential.

Vassily Kandinsky (1866-1944) était un peintre russe qui fut l'un des premiers à réellement s'aventurer dans l'art abstrait. Il s'évertua à représenter son monde intérieur d'abstraction malgré les critiques négatives de ses pairs. Il s'éloigna de la peinture potentiellement figurative dans le but d'exprimer ses émotions, le conduisant à un usage inédit de la forme et de la couleur. Bien que ses fluvres aient été fortement censurées à son époque, elles eurent énormément d'influences quelques années plus tard.

Der russische Maler Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944) gilt als einer der Ersten, die sich auf das Feld der abstrakten Kunst gewagt haben. Trotz negativer Reaktionen einiger Kollegen bestand er darauf, sein Innenleben mithilfe der Abstraktion darzustellen. Dazu entfernte er sich immer mehr von einer Malerei, die als gegenständlich bezeichnet werden kann, was in seinem einzigartigen Gebrauch von Form und Farbe resultierte. Obwohl seine Werke zunächst heftiger Kritik ausgesetzt waren, würden sie sich schließlich als wegweisend erweisen.
