Wassily Kandinsky. Invisible shapes
Description
For Wassily Kandinsky, the father of abstract art, geometric form was the external expression of inner meaning. What sensibilities do art lovers need in order to decode the shapes behind the shapes in his colorful-and, in their day, controversial-paintings? This program introduces the subject of symbolism in abstract expressionism through a close examination of Kandinsky's Yellow-Red-Blue.
