Kandinsky

This sumptuously produced volume displays Kandinsky's brilliant use of color, shape, and composition through more than 250 full-color details or full-page illustrations. Essays by the world's leading Kandinsky experts focus on the evolution of his work throughout all periods of his career: his exploration of his Russian roots and his emigration to Munich, his attraction to the Art Nouveau and fauvist movements, the formation of the Blue Rider group, the influence of music on his painting, his years at the Bauhaus, and his late work in Paris. The book's grand design and lavish packaging allow for a thorough examination of Kandinsky's most important works in all their extraordinary detail.

This book also contains a stand-alone facsimile of Kandinsky's original graphic series from 1922, "Small Worlds"("Kleine Welten").
