Artists and thinkers alike will treasure this special hardcover edition of one of the most important documents in the history of modern art. A pioneering work in spiritual revolution and the movement to free art from its traditional bonds to material reality, and written by the famous nonobjective painter Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944), it helps readers understand art by explaining Kandinsky's own theory of painting and crystallizes the ideas that were influencing many other modern artists of the period. Along with his own groundbreaking abstract paintings, this book had a tremendous impact on the development of modern art.
