Wassilly Kandinsky Prints

Wassilly Kandinsky Prints and Posters: Wassily Kandinsky was born in Moscow in 1866, and spent his childhood in Odessa. After originally training to be a lawyer in Munich, Kandinsky moved to Germany where he studied painting. Prior to becoming an artist, it is said that Kandinsky visited an exhibition of Impressionist paintings in Paris, and was outraged by Monet's 'Haystacks' paintings, as he said that due to his use of light and colour, you could not tell what they were. It is ironic therefore that Kandinsky later became one of the founders of Abstract art. Kandinsky believed that artists should only try to express pure, inner feelings in their paintings, and became very involved in art theory. He likened his paintings to music, entitling them 'Compositions' and 'Movements', perhaps a result of his early musical studies of the Cello and Piano. Wassily Kandinsky travelled widely in Holland, Italy and North Africa before moving back to Russia in 1914 to found the Russian Academy in his home town of Moscow. He went on to teach at the Bauhaus but was forced to leave Germany in later years by the Nazis. He died in France in 1944.
