Synopsis

Long regarded as essential reading for understanding the evolution of 20th-century art, this influential work sets out Kandinsky’s thinking on how art might move beyond inherited traditions. He examines the function of the point and the line, alongside other fundamental components of non-objective painting, building a framework for analysing form and composition.

With 127 illustrations, it offers a visually supported approach to art theory within a general art context.
