Kandinsky is one of my favorite painters, not because I like the look of his work, but because he was a fucking visionary. And brave.

He is the father of “Abstract Art.”

And here is how it happened…

Kandinsky had a deep interest in Classical Music and he noted (excuse the pun) that Musical Compositions could elicit emotional responses in the listener, despite the fact that they had no figurative associations/words/literal stories.

One day, he came back from a meander and discovered one of his landscapes, accidentally left upside down, against a wall. Instead of turning it the right way up, he just looked at it for a bit and suddenly realized that visual art also had the ability to evoke emotions in the viewer, even if it didn’t depict anything figurative.

That’s the art jargon from Uni coming out. You learn to use the right words and you can pretty much get through any year and still party on.

So basically, he figured (excuse the pun, again) that a painting could be totally abstract, yet it could still be considered “Art” with a capital A because it made people feel stuff.

And so began the concept of “Abstract Art.”

He even began to call his paintings “Compositions.”

Cool, huh?
