Who is Wassily Kandinsky?

Kandinsky is a Russian painter and mixed-media artist who was born in 1866. In his early years, he was interested in folk art and church like pieces that had a dark background with light inside. But it was more of a personal interest as he was set to become a professor of law. As he approached his 30s he became more interested in abstract art. There’s a great story that Kandinsky found a painting of his upside down and was fascinated. After spending a lot of time with this upside down painting, it sparked his passion for abstract art.

After creating an array of abstract paintings and mixed media pieces and growing the style and format theoretically, he started to put his passion toward teaching. He was teaching in Russia when in 1921, Kandinsky was invited to go to Germany to attend the Bauhaus of Weimar by its founder, architect Walter Gropius.

The Bauhaus is a famous German Art School that progressed modern art and it’s ideals. The Bauhaus was operational from 1919 to 1933 and combined crafts, fine art, architecture, design and art theory into a full study.

Kandinsky taught basic design, color theory, painting and psychology and more.

How to Paint Like Kandinsky

Kandinsky likened painting to composing music, writing, “Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the hammers, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand which plays, touching one key or another, to cause vibrations in the soul.”

To start your own Kandinsky inspired painting, think about painting like you are making music. And try to avoid any representation in your shapes. Just see them for what they are – color, line, and form.

His object-free paintings display spiritual messages like sounds, emotions and a combination of sensations.
