Wassily Kandinsky

Wassily Kandinsky - Russian painter, graphic designer and art theorist - is one of the great pioneers of art of the 20th century. In his versatile work, he describes the psychological effect of colour and the analogy between painting and music. He is said to be the creator of the world's first abstract painting.

Kandinsky lived and worked also in Germany and France. Together with Franz Marc, he was cofounder of the art movement "Der Blaue Reiter". During the German Weimar Republic, he was a teacher at the German art School "Bauhaus" in Weimar, Dessau and Berlin.

Today, his works of art are exhibited in many great museums, i.e. Lenbachhaus Munich, Guggenheim New York, Louvre and Centre Pompidou Paris.
