Kandinsky was born in Tsarist Russia, made a name for himself as a teacher at the renowned Bauhaus in Germany, fled fascism and ended up in France. Wars, crises and revolutions had their impact on the artist. His unlikely life story is reflected in the richness of his art.
The fact that so much of his work was preserved is thanks to his widow Nina. She donated art and archives to the French state. There they ended up in the Center Pompidou in Paris, one of the largest museums for modern and contemporary art in the world.
In this book, masterpieces from Kandinsky’s oeuvre, from this renowned museum, are presented in the context of his artistic life.
This book accompanies the exhibition by the same name in H’ART Museum in Amsterdam. The museum shows masterpieces such as Mit dem schwarzen Bogen (1912), Accord réciproque (1942) but also the life-size Salon (1922). This is the reconstruction of the Bauhaus work that was lost during the bombing of Berlin.
Exhibition Kandinsky. Pioneer of Abstract Art: June 19 – November 10, 2024
