Wassily Kandinsky paintings are highly regarded across the art world by fans of painting and artwork and those who are not massively interested in the sector at all. Luckily, the size of a following around this painter means that there is an immense popularity for people who want to follow him. He is not a false prophet to follow, however. His skills at painting are second to none, with all of his pieces being known by those who love art and those who are indifferent towards it.
Indeed, it is this universal love of the painter which has made him quite so famous. He produced accessible art which is still meaningful and pertinent today. In the large pantheon of painters, he is recognized as one of the best, becoming a household name amongst those who do not even take much interest in art. People who like him consider him in the same breath as Picasso, Da Vinci and Van Gogh.
This artist lived almost a full seventy nine years of his life, dying in 1944 three days before it would have been his birthday. He was born on 16 December 1886 in Moscow, Russia, at a time in which the country was full of tumult. Indeed, it seems incredible that he became a painter at all: at Moscow University when he was young he studied economics and law.
Compared to the perceptive and free thinking world of modern art (which he helped usher in), these two subjects seem altogether too rigorous and staid. Indeed, it seems impossible to think that this Russian artist's free thinking ways would ever have been satisfied in the boring world of numbers and legislation. When he migrated to the art world, he bounced around from one nation to another, passed about because of his extraordinary thinking.
Truly, this man was the first widely recognized abstract painter. But it may not have been that way, had he continued along the line of teaching law and economics to disinterested students. Luckily for the world, he had a change of heart aged thirty and decided to enroll at Munich's art school.
He went to Munich and enrolled in the art school there. It was something of a major decision for someone who was not necessarily in the first flush of life. It involved a significant upheaval of his life to a foreign country.
His first works in Germany were rather standard pieces. What differentiated them slightly from the mountains of other artwork being produced by contemporaries was his ready use of color. He had claimed from childhood that this was a major interest of his.
However, over time Kandinsky paintings became the sorts of things that people recognize as traditionally his today. They were more abstracted and interesting, with less literal demonstrations of the subject placed onto canvas. It was this method which he hit upon which gained the critics' attention. It also happened to catch the eye of the regular public, who now recognize his work above many others as classically Kandinsky.
