Happy KANDINSKY Day!

Russian-born French Expressionist Painter, born December 4, 1866, died December 13, 1944
Kandinsky Yellow, Red, and Blue

"Concerning the Spiritual in Art
Originally published in 1911, Kandinsky compares the spiritual life of humanity to a large triangle similar to a pyramid; the artist has the task and the mission of leading others to the top by the exercise of his talent. The point of the triangle is constituted only by some individuals who bring the sublime bread to other people. It is a spiritual triangle which moves forward and rises slowly, even if it sometimes remains immobile. During decadent periods, souls fall to the bottom of the Triangle and men only search for the external success and ignore purely spiritual forces."
