Wassily Kandinsky’s Sketchbooks Offer New Insights Into His Art

BBG News

Wassily Kandinsky, famously known as the trailblazer of abstract art, preserved a wealth of sketchbooks from 1889 to 1935. A collection of twelve of these sketchbooks is now featured in a recent publication titled “Wassily Kandinsky: The Sketchbooks“, edited by Larry Warsh. This book brings together significant pages that offer insights into how the artist’s concepts and artistic language evolved over time.

This book showcases investigations into themes such as composition, spatial arrangement, and color, all of which resonate in Kandinsky’s future artworks. Accompanying sketches are annotated with personal thoughts, musings, and the occasional poem, providing insights into the artists and authors who shaped his thought process during that period.

Additionally, you’ll find printed documents that contain Kandinsky’s evolving thoughts on abstraction, providing insights into his rationale for attempting to provide abstract art with a stronger philosophical basis.

The book is available now for $39.95 USD through No More Rulers’ website.
