Art: Wassily Kandinsky

Ironically, Kandinsky's work moved in a direction that was of much greater abstraction than that which was pioneered by the Impressionists. It was not long before his talent surpassed the constraints of art school and he began exploring his own ideas of painting - 'I applied streaks and blobs of colors onto the canvas with a palette knife and I made them sing with all the intensity I could...'
