Wassily Kandinsky - On Spirituality in Art

In the book, Kandinsky explained that spiritual harmony in music is taken from natural phenomena and a matter of soul alone. Similarly, abstract painter is studying and proving their material to create the effect of spiritual vibration.

Kandinsky believes in the spiritual nature of colour:
  • No objective connotation
  • Synaesthesia - 'hear colours' and 'see sound'.
  • Having to paint just circles, makes him focuses on colours interaction.
  • Psychic effects of colours echoes and reverberates to other senses.
  • Manipulation of unsuitable combination gives fresh possibilities to harmony.
