KANDISNSKY

GREAT RESOURCE FOR DESIGN OR PAINTING INSPIRATIONS AMAZING OVERVIEW ABOUT THE ARTIST WASSILY KANDISNSKY.

The Book is Worth It!

This book has excellent images on Kandinsky's work beginning with his representational early works to his abstract later works. The color quality of the prints are good and the information is readable - to the point and not overwhelming like many art books can be. I only wish this book was bigger with more examples of his work. ...A good resource for art educators.

The Master On Display

The word "visionary" is so often overused, but Wassily Kandinsky truly was one. Pick up this book and find out why!

Must buy for any modern art lover

This book in few pages can describe Kandinsky so well. The style of Kandisky which reflected the developments and strides physics took in first 2 decades of century is shown in his love of planes and geometry.
