abstraction - kandinsky

next guy - kandinsky

Wassily Wassilyevich Kandinsky /kænˈdɪnski/ (RussianВаси́лий Васи́льевич Канди́нскийVasiliy Vasil’yevich KandinskiyRussian pronunciation: [vaˈsʲilʲɪj kɐnˈdʲinskʲɪj]; 16 December [O.S. 4 December] 1866 – 13 December 1944) was an influential Russian painter and art theorist. He is credited with painting the first purely abstract works.  

If we follow the timeline of his works, we can see how he started painting realistic landscapes in Russia.  He let his emotions and senses take over in his works as you can see by his colour choices and geometric shapes.  Then he went figure to make his work pure representational works.
