The art world is a very discerning place. They make sure that they are the bastions of criticism, declaring what is and what is not culture. Thankfully for the world, the tremendous and prodigious output of Wassily Kandinsky paintings is classed as something which is worth regarding and holding in high esteem. For good reason too: the artist is one of the world's finest, gifting to the planet a series of tremendously innovative and fantastic art which has rarely been bettered.
Indeed, it is this universal love of the painter which has made him quite so famous. He produced accessible art which is still meaningful and pertinent today. In the large pantheon of painters, he is recognized as one of the best, becoming a household name amongst those who do not even take much interest in art. People who like him consider him in the same breath as Picasso, Da Vinci and Van Gogh.
This artist lived almost a full seventy nine years of his life, dying in 1944 three days before it would have been his birthday. He was born on 16 December 1886 in Moscow, Russia, at a time in which the country was full of tumult. Indeed, it seems incredible that he became a painter at all: at Moscow University when he was young he studied economics and law.
These are two subjects which do not normally fit well into the flighty, uncertain world of impressions and feelings which surrounds art. Throughout his life he was a pioneer and often considered unsuitable in his thoughts on what painting and art should be. He was therefore like a human pinball, bouncing from Russia to Germany, back to his homeland and then to France, as governments and establishments disapproved of his outlandish views.
Indeed, he broke the mould so much that he was considered the first popular abstract painter. However, it is astonishing to think that were it not for an incredibly brave decision made in his life at the age of thirty, the world would have been robbed of his talent for painting. He was teaching students about law and economics before deciding to pack that in and head to Germany to learn about art.
He took up residence in the warm bosom of the Munich art school. This was an incredibly bold thing for him to do: he was secure in his previous employment, and was not the youngest person to take a change in career. When he arrived in Germany, he became a star.
From an early age, he said, he was interested in playing with the colorful world in which he lived. He heightened and richened the tones to make it more interesting. This gained him significant numbers of fans.
However, over time Kandinsky paintings became the sorts of things that people recognize as traditionally his today. They were more abstracted and interesting, with less literal demonstrations of the subject placed onto canvas. It was this method which he hit upon which gained the critics' attention. It also happened to catch the eye of the regular public, who now recognize his work above many others as classically Kandinsky.
