Concerning the Spiritual in Art | Wassily Kandinsky

pick

Time to enjoy this #staffpick by Desirée from the 2nd floor. “Kandinsky explores the synesthetic aspects of color and how it has the potential to influence our moods on a deeper level. In this in depth analysis, he proposes that colors can not only be seen, but that there are shapes and sounds that can be attributed to them. It ...can help understand the importance of chromatic imagery not only in art but in films, books & life!" #staffpickfriday

ericas Thanks for sharing it. It's so interesting to see the effort to understand colors, their vibrations and the perception of them from any different point of view..a lot has passed from Goethe's Theory of Colours who shortly explained "Yellow is a light which has been dampened by darkness; blue is a darkness weakened by light" 6y

"This 'what' is the internal truth which only art can divine, which only art can express by those means of expression which are hers alone". (PG 9)

"The combination of both means of extension in harmony or concord is one of the richest and most powerful elements in purely artistic composition." ?? I want to see yours! #lovelifeon45

This book was originally written in 1914 and republished in 1977 (the edition I stumbled upon) and this is STILL accurate.
