Why was colour so important for Wassily Kandinsky?
For Wassily Kandinsky, music and color were inextricably tied to one another. So clear was this relationship that Kandinsky associated each note with an exact hue. He once said, “the sound of colors is so definite that it would be hard to find anyone who would express bright yellow with bass notes or dark lake with treble.”
3. How did shape and line compliment his ideas on colour?
His works after Murnau with Church II became increasingly abstract in his attempt to express spiritual ideals, and emotional states through colour, shape and line. Kandinsky wrote two books on his theories of art. Concerning the Spiritual in Art and Point and Line and Plane. In these writings he questions the nature and purpose of art, suggesting it should be detached from the real, material world and instead value the spiritual means of communication. 4.Research the Bauhaus. What was it? Where was it located?
Staatliches Bauhaus, commonly known simply as Bauhaus, was an art school in Germany that combined crafts and the fine arts, and was famous for the approach to design that it publicised and taught. It operated from 1919 to 1933.
