About the book >.>.> Kandinsky’s work his achievements in search of a new form of expression in painting indeed a new conception of art in general may still strike us as enigmatic and volatile as if based on no rec- ognizable premise. Yet in his case as with all other artists there were formative influences in Kandinsky’s childhood and youth. Along with the talent he was born with he plainly also acquired an inner motivation a real urge to create. Kandinsky was a gifted writer and in his numerous writings he expressed his views on this central aspect of artistic activity. which he referred to as “inner calling” or “inner necessity”. We shall deal with the core of his thinking concerning the theory of art as we examine the course of his life. According to the western Gregorian calendar. Wassily Kan- dinsky was born in Moscow on 4 December 1866 in a time of economic and cultural prosperity. (LL)
