A pioneer of abstraction and a master of color and form, Kandinsky's body of work is astonishing today. Starting with his canvas Bleu de Ciel<\/em><\/a>, the Centre Pompidou<\/a> and Namaki invite you to discover abstract art in a different way. Are you ready to dive in with us and discover a tiny population?<\/p>\n<\/div>

Kandinsky, magician of colors and shapes<\/span><\/h2><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

A nomadic artist<\/span><\/h3><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Vassily Kandinsky was born in Moscow in 1866 into a wealthy, cultured family. He learned German from his grandmother, and took piano, cello and drawing lessons. Vassily spent his childhood and adolescence in Odessa (then in Russia, now in Ukraine). At the age of nineteen, he returned to Moscow to study law, economics and statistics. In Russia, Germany, Holland, Italy, Tunisia, Switzerland and France, Kandinsky was a nomad. Alternating between travels and returns to Moscow, he moved to the rhythm of missions, exhibitions and outbreaks of conflict. In 1927, he settled in Paris with his wife. He obtained French nationality in 1939, just before the outbreak of the Second World War.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Create without constraint<\/span><\/h3><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

At the age of thirty, Kandinsky decided on his future: he would become a painter and study painting in Munich. He began painting in 1895. In 1910, he created his first abstract canvases, abandoning the idea of reproducing nature and objects. Until his death in 1944, he never ceased to advocate a form of painting that freed itself from the obligation to resemble. Rather than simply showing, Kandinsky sought to create a feeling for nature. His artistic choices and his works made him an artist and a man of the 20th century.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Bleu de Ciel: a ballet of strange creatures<\/span><\/h2><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

The abstract language of small hybrid beings<\/span><\/h3><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Mollusks or birds? Snake or mermaid? Perhaps one or the other, depending on your imagination and feelings. With abstract forms that sometimes seem to swim, sometimes to fly, Kandinsky uses abstraction to express emotions without using recognizable shapes. Playing with color and the effects of movement, and abandoning geometric forms, the canvas welcomes life like a microscope slide. It reveals an infinitely small world, in the throes of creation and mutation.<\/p>\n<\/div>
