Concerning the Spiritual in Art

Artists and thinkers alike will treasure this special hardcover edition of one of the most important documents in the history of modern art. A pioneering work in the movement to free art from its traditional bonds to material reality, and written by the famous nonobjective painter Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944), it explains Kandinsky's own theory of painting and crystallises the ideas that were influencing many other modern artists of the period. Along with his own groundbreaking paintings, this book had a tremendous impact on the development of modern art.
