quotes by Wassily Kandinsky

""Colour is a power which directly influences the soul."
"
— Wassily Kandinsky

"The artist must be blind to distinction between 'recognized' or 'unrecognized' conventions of form, deaf to the transitory teaching and demands of his particular age."
— Wassily Kandinsky (Concerning the Spiritual in Art)

"Those [things] that we encounter for the first time immediately have a spiritual effect upon us. A child, for whom every object is new, experiences the world in this way: it sees light, is attracted by it, wants to grasp it, burns its finger in the process, and thus learns fear and respect for the flame. "
— Wassily Kandinsky
