Wassily Kandinsky - The abstract

I still very much remember the weekends in Milan. Either we did an excursion to the surrounding towns, Turin, Venice, etc. or we stayed in Milan and went to exhibitions at the day and the theatre or opera in the night. I was 11-16 years old and there often surely were other things that I was interested than in all this "cultural stuff".

But today I can say that I am immmensly thankful, that my mother "dragged" us to all these things. It was in these days that I developed not only my love for Russia but also for Kandinsky.

Wassily Kandinsky who lived from 1866 until 1944 was an influential russian painter and theorist. As an Expressionist, he was the first one to use abstractism in his work.

 Kandinsky:

Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another, to cause vibrations in the soul."
