kandinsky

Itten [6], Goethe [7] and Kandinsky [8] all absolutely believed in the spiritual dimension of color.

You might as well throw in Picasso, Malevich, and Kandinsky if you want to criticize the 20th-century trend towards abstraction and non-representational painting.

There are so many questions like this that all have the same answer: why don't they paint like Kandinsky <pick your own favorite>?

If you look at others like Kandinsky you’ll see modern has actually lost all sense of objectivity and merely reduced to shapes and colors.

The search narrowed down pretty quickly to working out that I liked Kandinsky and Klimt.

Then Kandinsky (and other Suprematists) were what, Russian Tsar's psyop?

There's no universe where someone else painted them instead and we're still having this conversation, because then that someone else did, and not Kandinsky and Warhol, and so you'd still argue that that someone painted them.

My personal favourite find there is a full copy of "On The Spiritual In Art" by Kandinsky.

For example, LLMs have been shown to produce code that can make graphics somewhat in the style of famous modern artists (eg Kandinsky and Mondrian) but fail at object-stacking problems (“take a book, four wine glasses, a tennis ball, a laptop and a bottle and stack them in a stable arrangement”).

Kandinsky is one of the few Bauhaus people to produce art accessible to a larger audience.

Transform an abstract art painting (Kandinsky or Pollock for example) into a explorable virtual reality space.

For how many of those are written, there are maybe only two worth reading: Delacroix notebook and Kandinsky's book about mixing paints.
