Kandinsky's family is an intellectual family, so he received a good education from teaching. In middle school, he not only got excellent grades, but also was a very good violinist and painter. Kandinsky studied economics and law at the University, but his love for painting has not disappeared. Since 1889, Kandinsky has been widely exposed to folk painting and decorative arts. 1893 graduated from Kandinsky University, and later received a doctorate, so he began to teach in universities. At the age of 30, he gave up his position as a law professor and went to study in Munich. 1900 graduated from Muyou Academy of Fine Arts and became a professional painter after graduation. From 65438 to 0903, Kandinsky began to travel extensively in Europe and Africa. He inspected the development of modern art movement in many countries on the spot and deepened his knowledge and understanding of European culture. 1908, Kandinsky settled in Munich, and then began his long professional art journey.

By 1920, Kandinsky was still painting in a free way. 192 1 year, influenced by Malevik and others, he changed the free form into lines, but his work style still has a very distinct sense of rhythm and light pleasure. 1933, Kanski began to live in Paris until his death.
Kandinsky's artistic thought
Kandinsky is a famous Russian painter. Kandinsky's artistic thought is mainly embodied in two aspects. First, Kandinsky's artistic expression is abstract, which is broader and more free than concrete; Secondly, Kandinsky thinks that the most important thing in art is spirit rather than form.
First of all, Kandinsky thinks that the more abstract a shape is, the clearer and more direct its appeal will be. In a painting, material factors will be more or less redundant, and will be more or less replaced by modeling. Abstract form can stimulate people's spirit, leave a broad appreciation space for the viewer, make the association scope deeper and wider, and make the viewer's thinking more open. He once said that the shaping of nature is the most beautiful, and no artist can compare with nature. Kandinsky's abstraction seems to run counter to nature and truth, but in fact Kandinsky's abstraction is related to nature's crossword puzzle. It only leaves the appearance of nature, and the whole is in line with the laws of nature. Kandinsky expressed nature and his inner feelings in a novel way. Kandinsky also pointed out that artistry must be recognized as the most powerful abstraction, which is an extremely important artistic thought.
Secondly, Kandinsky said that the most important thing in art is spirit rather than form, in which spirit refers to the content of things and form is a simple object. He once said that all inner and heartfelt needs are beautiful. He believes that artists choose a line, a simple figure, a color block and a color from the heart, so Kandinsky's inner need principle is to arouse people's souls.
Characteristics of Kandinsky's Works
Kandinsky's works have three main characteristics. The first is the fusion of music and painting. Kandinsky believes that there is no difference in the aesthetic behavior of each art, but the external expression is different, and in the final analysis, the requirements and creative laws of artists when expressing their inner feelings are * * *. Kandinsky said that music and painting are also * * *, so when Kandinsky abstracted painting, the inner essence and external performance of painting had the shadow of music, and the painting as a whole looked very rhythmic.
Secondly, Kandinsky pays great attention to color control in his works, and his works usually give people a bright and fresh feeling. In his works, color is the original language, and he expresses his strong feelings for everything in the world by controlling the warmth, lightness and darkness of color. He made people feel his inner world through different TINT.
Because Kandinsky is an theist and mystic, he thinks that painting should be close to the abstraction of pure music, and painting should be pure and should not involve other things. Therefore, in Kandinsky's works, he often takes composition or improvisation as the theme, and carefully depicts or simply draws up the theme and layout according to different paintings and relying on his own intuition. Therefore, the abstract painting of Kandinsky's works explores the internal expressive force of painting elements.
