“My intention is to say that we are approaching ever closer to an age of conscious, rational composition, and that the painter will take pride in being able to explain his work in a constructive way (as opposed to the position of the purely Impressionist painters, who take pride in having nothing to explain).
Moreover, I would like to conclude by saying that we are now on the threshold of an era of purposeful creation, and that this spirit in painting is finally in direct organic relationship with the construction of a new spiritual realm that has already begun.
Because this spirit is the soul of the age of great spirituality.” —Kandinsky

A masterpiece filled with observations and emotional experiences about the art of Kandinsky, who is considered a pioneer of modern abstract art.
It describes the ideology of abstract painting by connecting it to the world of music, and also explains the unique function that a color has on our mind.
This book, written in 1912, also shows the artistic situation in Germany at the time when new art was developing, and he attempted to create a 'theory of harmony in painting' through this writing.
This classic, which allows one to fully appreciate Kandinsky's profound artistic ideas and rich literary expressions, is presented with a new cover to commemorate the centennial of the Bauhaus in 2019.
