Vassily Kandinsky. La revolució del llenguatge pictòric
The work of Vassily Kandisky was able to convey moods without resorting to recognisable scenes or objects. It could express great emotional intensity through a personal vocabulary that believed in the power of colour and shape. The catalogue of this exhibition held at MACBA in late 1996 and early 1997 includes reproductions of the works in the show, a biography of the artist and two groundbreaking theoretical texts. In one of them, exhibition curator Victoria Combalía moves away from the label that defines Kandinsky as the father of pictorial abstraction and shows how his work was shaped by the legacy of a series of ideas that had been circulating since the nineteenth century.
