Life and Art of Wassily Kandinsky, The (17)
Kandinsky didn't pick up a brush until he was thirty years old. He was an academic who threw away his career to explore the arts. He was a Russian, yet he spent more than half of his life on the road and died in self-imposed exile in France. He is credited with history's first abstract painting, but it was his theories that had a profound impact on the way that people understand what art can achieve. Richly illustrated with specially commissioned artworks and 20 of Kandinsky's major works, this visual biography forms the perfect introduction to the life of one of the most revolutionary figures in twentieth-century art.
