WASSILY KANDINSKY KEY IDEAS

Painting was, above all, deeply spiritual for Kandinsky..Kandinsky viewed non-objective, abstract art as the ideal visual mode to express the "inner necessity" of the artistHe viewed himself as a prophet whose mission was to share this ideal with the world for the betterment of societyKandinsky viewed music as the most transcendent form of non-objective artHe strove to produce similarly object-free, spiritually rich paintings that alluded to sounds and emotions through a unity of sensation
