Kandinsky
Bauhaus painting instructor
Kandinsky refers to Wassily Kandinsky (1866–1944), a Russian-born painter and art theorist widely credited as a pioneer of abstract art.
His work moved from representational to purely non-objective compositions of color and form.
The name often appears in discussions of modern art history: The museum has three Kandinskys in their permanent collection.
