Wassily Kandinsky Oil Painting | Hand-painted Wassily Kandinsky Paintings Art Reproduction on canvas SALE

Wassily Kandinsky was a Russian painter, and art theorist. He is credited with oil painting art of the first purely abstract artworks. Born in Moscow, Kandinsky spent his childhood in Odessa. He enrolled at the University of Moscow and chose to study law and economics. Quite successful in his profession—he was offered a professorship (chair of Roman Law) at the University of Dorpat—he started painting studies (life-drawing, sketching and anatomy) at the age of 30.

In 1896, he settled in Munich and studied first in the private school of Anton Ažbe and then at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich. He went back to Moscow in 1914, after World War I started. He was unsympathetic to the official theories on art in Moscow and returned to Germany in 1921. There, he taught at the Bauhaus school of art and architecture from 1922 until the Nazis closed it in 1933. He then moved to France where he lived the rest of his life, and became a French citizen in 1939. He died at Neuilly-sur-Seine in 1944.

Today, Wassily Kandinsky is considered the father of Abstract painting art which is better viewed than explained. Wassily Kandinsky's oil paintings have been credited with changing the face of art in the first part of the 20th century. He was thought to have Synesthesis (a cross wiring in the brain that causes other senses to have visual presence and visa versa).

It is this condition that was a catalyst for Kandinsky's oil painting. He wanted to create the equivalent of a symphony that would stimulate not just the eyes but the ears as well.
