What is Kandinsky famous for?
1 Answer
Kandinsky is famous for his work as an artist. The Russian-born painter and theorist dedicated his life to using abstract compositions of form and color to express deep emotion as well as to depict the language of music through visuals. Wassily Kandinsky was part of a crucial moment in 20th-century art history. He embraced styles such as Surrealism and Fauvism and was a leading figure in bringing together Der Blaue Reiter in 1911. This group of avant-garde artists in Munich included Paul Klee and Franz Marc and explored spiritual concepts through art as a response to the materialism of the time. Some of Kandinsky’s most famous works include Composition VIII, Composition VII, Several Circles, The Blue Rider and Circles in a Circle. Shop a collection of Wassily Kandinsky art on 1stDibs.
