Wassily Kandinsky was born December 1866 in Moscow, Russia, and died at the age of 77, on December 16, 1944. Kandinsky was a painter and an art theorist, who not only graduated from Grekov Odessa Art School, but also studied Law and Economics at the University of Moscow. Kandinsky is viewed as one of the first artists to paint a truly abstract piece, and taught basic design for beginners, and an advanced theory class at the Bauhaus.

On Kandinsky. Stunning. My local library had a wonderful collection of art books that I checked out over and over. Now they are gone. Way downsized art section. Your Overviews are exciting and refreshing to my art soul. Thank you, will visit again. Miz Tick
