Vasily Kandinsky
149.99 €
The book examines the work of Wassily Kandinsky in the complex unity of its types, genres and styles - from realistic landscapes and portraits to abstract paintings of the mature and late periods, from absurdist poems to theatrical scenes and scenographic experiments to philosophical texts in the field of art theory. The master's diverse legacy is presented in a historical context. It is about the so-called deliverance from reality (or the Great Refusal to see the real in art). This major break in the development of artistic culture is linked to the crisis of ideocratic consciousness at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, to the so-called ontological turn in various arts - from poetry to painting. Kandinsky turned out to be the creative personality who was in contact with the key trends and phenomena in the art of Russia and Western Europe. He witnessed and participated in the avant-garde revolutions in Germany and Russia, observed and experienced in his fate the dire consequences of the fatal socio-political experiment of the Soviet regime, was forced to flee Nazi Germany and experienced the dramatic events of the German occupation of France. Before us is the biography of a creative personality, equal to the most complex and dramatic era of the turn of the century and the first half of the twentieth century.
