Concerning the Spiritual in Art - (Dover Fine Art, History of Art) by Wassily Kandinsky (Paperback)

This revolutionary book by Wassily Kandinsky, "About Painting," is a groundbreaking work in the movement to free art from its traditional bonds to material reality.

As a pioneer of nonobjective painting, Kandinsky's theories and ideas have had a tremendous impact on the development of modern art. In this book, Kandinsky presents his theory of painting in two parts: "About General Aesthetic" and "About Painting." In the first part, he issues a call for a spiritual revolution in painting that will let artists express their own inner lives in abstract, non-material terms.

He argues that just as musicians do not depend upon the material world for their music, so artists should not have to depend upon the material world for their art. In the second part, Kandinsky discusses the psychology of colors, the language of form and color, and the responsibilities of the artist.

He also includes nine woodcuts by himself that appear at the chapter headings, making the book even more valuable. This English translation of "Über das Geistige in der Kunst" is a significant contribution to the understanding of nonobjectivism in art.

It continues to be a stimulating and necessary reading experience for every artist, art student, and art patron concerned with the direction of 20th-century painting.
