| Summary | "Über das Geistige in der Kunst, Insbesondere in der Malerei" by Wassily Kandinsky is a philosophical treatise on art, particularly focusing on painting, written in the early 20th century. The book explores the spiritual and emotional dimensions of artistic expression, emphasizing the relationship between the artist's inner experiences and the artworks they produce. Kandinsky's ideas reflect the growing interest in abstraction and the deeper meanings behind artistic forms during a transformative period in the art world. The opening of the work sets the stage by discussing the evolution of art over time in relation to the spiritual and cultural atmosphere of each era. Kandinsky argues that every artistic creation is a reflection of its time and that the true purpose of art is not mere imitation of nature but to communicate the artist's inner life and emotions. He draws a comparison between primitive artists, who intuitively tapped into their inner essence, and contemporary artists who grapple with materialistic influences. This exploration hints at the complexities that arise when art aims to express deeper truths that may elude traditional forms and techniques, positing that the artist must work to elevate their expressions beyond mere external appearances.
