Text Quotes
Color provokes a psychic vibration. Color hides a power still unknown but real, which acts on every part of the human body  (Wassily Kandinsky Quotes) In every painting a whole is mysteriously enclosed, a whole life of tortures, doubts, of hours of enthusiasm and inspiration  (Wassily Kandinsky Quotes) Painting took on a fabulous strength and splendor; the object was discredited as an indispensable element of the picture  (Wassily Kandinsky Quotes) The word compositon moved me spiritually and I made it my aim in life to paint a composition. It affected me like a prayer and filled me with awe  (Wassily Kandinsky Quotes) Colors produce a spiritual vibration, the impression they create is important only as a step towards this vibration  (Wassily Kandinsky Quotes) Only just now awakening after years of materialism, our soul is still infected with the despair born of unbelief, of lack of purpose and aim  (Wassily Kandinsky Quotes) Everything shows me its face, its innermost being, its secret soul, which is more often silent than heard  (Wassily Kandinsky Quotes) Today is the great day of one of the revelations of this world. The interrelationships of these individual realms were illumined as by a flash of lightning; they burst unexpected, frightening, and joyous out of the darkness. Never were they so strongly tied together and never so sharply divided  (Wassily Kandinsky Quotes) Barriers are continually being made out of... new values which have overturned the barriers of the past. Thus one sees that it is not basically the new value that is of prime importance, but rather the spirit that is revealed in this value, as well as the freedom necessary for this revelation  (Wassily Kandinsky Quotes) Our epoch is a time of tragic collision between matter and spirit and of the downfall of the purely material world view  (Wassily Kandinsky Quotes) Efforts to revive the art principles of the past at best produce works of art that resemble a stillborn child  (Wassily Kandinsky Quotes) The work of art is born of the artist in a mysterious and secret way. From him it gains life and being. Nor is its existence casual and inconsequent, but it has a definite and purposeful strength, alike in its material and spiritual life  (Wassily Kandinsky Quotes) The artist must have something to say, mastery over form is not his goal but adaption of form to its inner meaning  (Wassily Kandinsky Quotes) Is beautiful what proceeds from an inner necessity of the soul. Is beautiful what is inwardly beautiful  (Wassily Kandinsky Quotes) Every work of art is the child of its time, often it is the mother of our emotions  (Wassily Kandinsky Quotes) Everything that is dead quivers. Not only the things of poetry, stars, moon, wood, flowers, but even a white trouser button glittering out of a puddle in the street... Everything has a secret soul, which is silent more often than it speaks  (Wassily Kandinsky Quotes) The nightmare of materialism, which has turned the life of the universe into an evil, useless game, is not yet past; it holds the awakening soul still in its grip  (Wassily Kandinsky Quotes) Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another, to cause vibrations in the soul  (Wassily Kandinsky Quotes) The world is full of resonances. It constitutes a cosmos of things exerting a spiritual action. The dead matter is a living spirit  (Wassily Kandinsky Quotes) Every phenomenon can be experienced in two ways. These two ways are not arbitrary, but are bound up with the phenomenon – developing out of its nature and characteristics : Externally – or – inwardly  (Wassily Kandinsky Quotes) The observer must learn to look at the picture as a graphic representation of a mood and not as a representation of objects  (Wassily Kandinsky Quotes) Every man who steeps himself in the spiritual possibilities of his heart is a valuable helper in the building of the spiritual pyramid which will someday reach to heaven  (Wassily Kandinsky Quotes) The artist must have something to say, for mastery over form is not his goal but rather the adapting of form to its inner meaning  (Wassily Kandinsky Quotes) Whether the psychological effect of color is direct... or whether it is the outcome of association, is open to question. The soul being one with the body, it may well be possible that a psychological tremor generates corresponding one through association  (Wassily Kandinsky Quotes) There is only one road to follow, that of analysis of the basic elements in order to arrive ultimately at an adequate graphic expression  (Wassily Kandinsky Quotes) Each period of a civilisation creates an art that is specific in it and which we will never see reborn. To try and revive the principles of art of past centuries can lead only to the production of stillborn works  (Wassily Kandinsky Quotes) All methods are sacred if they are internally necessary. All methods are sins if they are not justified by internal necessity  (Wassily Kandinsky Quotes) Of all the arts, abstract painting is the most difficult. It demands that you know how to draw well, that you have a heightened sensitivity for composition and for colors, and that you be a true poet. This last is essential  (Wassily Kandinsky Quotes) As a picture painted in yellow always radiates spiritual warmth, or as one in blue has apparently a cooling effect, so green is only boring  (Wassily Kandinsky Quotes) A parallel between color and music can only be relative – just as a violin can give warm shades of tone, so yellow has shades, which can be expressed by various instruments  (Wassily Kandinsky Quotes)
