Musician

Best known as: Russian-born president of Abstract art

Wasilly Kandinsky (or Vassilii Kandinskii) was a Russian painter whoever works from 1910 are the first abstract paintings. Kandinsky had a law profession in Moscow until he plumped for art school in Munich in 1896 - as he was practically 30. Within a decade he'd made a name for himself in Russia plus European countries, an Expressionist whose dazzling watercolors had been affected by Russian folk art and French Impressionists such as for example Claude Monet. Between 1910 and 1912 he blogged about non-objective "abstract" paintings and posted regarding Spiritual in Art, a work that solidified their position given that parent of abstract art. Recognized for his ingenuity with geometric forms and use of brilliant shade, Kandinsky was successful in Europe therefore the US. He invested his profession in Russia (1914-21), Germany (1922-33, on Bauhaus, alongside Paul Klee) and France (until their death).
