Concerning the Spiritual in Art
"Concerning the Spiritual in Art" is an essay written by Wassily Kandinsky in 1911. In this work, Kandinsky explores the relationship between art and spirituality, arguing that art should transcend the material world and evoke deeper emotional and spiritual responses. He emphasizes the importance of color and form in conveying these spiritual experiences.
Kandinsky believes that artists have a responsibility to express their inner feelings and connect with the viewer on a spiritual level. He advocates for abstract art as a means to achieve this, suggesting that non-representational forms can communicate profound truths beyond the physical realm.
