Kandinsky is absolutely incredible and surprisingly accessible.
All you need to do is spend 10-15-30 minutes in front of his painting, assuming that you are in a dialogue with an extraordinarily smart person on the subject of motion, 3D and compression of time and space onto a canvas. Once you give the artist a credit to interact with you from a point of mutual understanding, you begin to understand why that particular ship on Kandinsky’s painting is skewed, or what do the parallel lines mean.
Kandinsky also wrote a theoretical book, “Dot and line on a plane” (not sure what the exact English name is), which provides a structured insight into his approach to painting.
He is probably my favorite artist to just encounter in a museum.
