On-line Class – Kandinsky: A Transcendent Experience – Instructor: Dr. Jill Kiefer

One of the pioneers of abstract modern art, Wassily Kandinsky exploited the evocative interrelation between color and form to create an aesthetic experience that engaged the sight, sound, and emotions of the public. He believed that total abstraction offered the possibility for profound, transcendental expression. Kandinsky’s visual vocabulary developed from early representational works to rapturous and operatic compositions, and then to geometric and biomorphic flat planes of color.
