Wassily Kandinsky
Art is a force where the goal is to develop and enhance the human soul.
Of a well-to-do and cultivated family, Vassily Kandinsky was born in Moscow in 1866. He followed studies of law and economics at the University of Moscow entering in the studio of Anton Azbé, then at the Academy of Fine Arts of Munich in 1896. His first solo exhibition takes place in 1903. Wassily Kandinsky is co-founder, in 1901, of the group Die . . .

Stamp by Wassily Kandinsky
The publication of a postal stamp is often a homage paid by a nation to a place, an event, a remarkable cause or a character which count. The painters and other artists do not escape from this rule. Some are however "forgotten" of postal art. Here, gathered below (French or foreign), emitted stamps (206) or simple studies of stamp (224) in homage to the artists represented on our website. The first French stamp was emitted in 1849, England preceded us by ten years. There is often a share of voyage in this small form of shape paper. The stamp circulates, sails, flies away, it makes dream, then dream a little. M.C.
When the stamp is really emitted, the artist name is preceded of an asterisk (*). It is certain that we do not know each stamp emitted for such or such artist; do not hesitate with us to make known them!

A tribute to Wassily Kandinsky
Sorry this section is only available in french for now.
Wassily Kandinsky s’était s'installé à Paris en 1933 et ne devait plus jamais en partir. Victime d’une artériosclérose, il venait, quelques jours auparavant, d’avoir 78 ans lorsqu’il s’éteint le 13 décembre 1944 à Neuilly-sur-Seine. Lors de la cérémonie orthodoxe qui suivit, Nicolas de Staël et André Lanskoy s'alongèrent sur le sol de l'église, face contre terre, les bras en croix. Le père de l’abstraction repose dans le cimetière de Neuilly (92). En hommage à sa mémoire, nous déposons sur sa tombe la fleur du lantana pour qu’elle essaime un parterre de couleurs.
"Nous voudrions accomplir le déplacement du centre de gravité, montrer comment le voeu intérieur (der innere Wünsch) de l'artiste se manifeste dans la diversité formelle." - Wassily Kandinsky
"Mon idéal serait de construire la gamme et le système d'accords dont la pensée en général serait la musique. La couleur est le clavier, les yeux sont les harmonies, l'âme est le piano avec de nombreuses cordes. L'artiste est la main qui joue, touchant une clef ou une autre, pour produire des vibrations dans l'âme." - Wassily Kandinsky
"Le propos de Kandinsky est d'énoncer ce qui lui paraît être des "données immédiates de la conscience esthétique". Il définit un absolu." - André Chastel
"La forme n'est pour moi qu'un moyen d'atteindre le but et si je m'occupe en théorie aussi avec tant de minutie et si abondamment de la forme, c'est que je veux pénétrer à l'intérieur de la forme. Balances et proportions ne se trouvent pas en dehors de l'artiste mais en lui." - Wassily Kandinsky
"L'art est notre religion." - Wassily Kandinsky
"L'art compose des constellations, où s'inscrit toujours le cavalier, même et surtout s'il est devenu cercle et spirale ; "Il éveille le soleil qui est en moi, il est immortel" disait W. Kandinsky." - André Chastel
Mouvements de l'art
- + GERMAN EXPRESSIONISM / 1905-1930 / Fritz Bleyl, Alexei von Jawlensky, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Emil Nolde, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff.
- + BAUHAUS / 1919-1933 / Lyonel Feininger, Johannes Itten, Vassili Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Gerhard Marcks, Georg Muche, Oskar Schlemmer, etc.
