Kandinsky – The Collection from Centre Pompidou, Palazzo Reale, through April 27, 2014
The Russian artist and theoretician, Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944), was a pioneer in abstract art. In his works, he drew parallels between art and music, proposing that he was able to feel two or more senses at once - in effect, associating colours with specific musical timbres. He believed in the psychological effect that pure colour has, writing in his text titled "The Spiritual in Art" (1912), that the colour red, for instance, can move us in much the same way as the sound of horns. His goal as an artist was to put this synthesis of senses onto the canvas, transforming it into visually-stimulating colour combinations that would elicit in the viewer vibrations similar to music.
Kandinsky spent a large part of his life in Munich, where he presided over the birth of the well-known German expressionist group, The Blue Rider (Der Blaue Reiter). He later worked as an instructor at the Bauhaus school, and spent his last years in France. Featuring more than eighty of Kandinsky's works set up in chronological order, the Pompidou Centre's collection is at the foundation of this extensive retrospective at Palazzo Reale.
