O abstracionismo e Wassily Kandinsky

Abstract

Since the beginning of our era, we have always felt the need to express the way we see and especially how we feel the world around us. Art is the most appropriate and significant "tool" to denote and express in depth the uses, customs of a given time, but, above all, we can consider it as the artist's most peculiar way of exposing and transmitting the beautiful and obviously his personal interpretation of reality. We can say that art is intrinsic to social, historical and cultural events, modifying behavior and innovating customs, giving a new perspective to the world in its fullness. Thus, in the 20th century, we have a period of political, social and cultural changes never seen in other millennia of humanity. In the most diverse fields, everything is new, unheard of, never dreamed of by man before. In the arts, the prophecy of Marinetti's Futurist Manifesto seems to be fulfilled, which foresaw the liberation of words, sounds, images, colors. However, this gigantic transformation, although considerably accelerated in our days - had a gradual preparation since the middle of the fourteenth century. It is precisely the time when Wassily Kandinsky was born in Moscow, on December 4, 1866.
