About this book
Colour and shape become a language of inner feeling in Wassily Kandinsky's account of painting. This work of art theory moves from general questions of aesthetics to the effects of colour and the relation between form and spiritual expression. Its opening introduction places the discussion among debates about Post-Impressionism, artistic training and the difference between representing outward appearances and expressing an inner meaning.
Kandinsky compares painting with music, considering how each can stir a response in the viewer or listener. A passage on red explains how a colour imagined in the mind differs from a painted patch, whose shade is affected by neighbouring colours. Triangles, circles and squares also carry their own expressive force.
