Who destroyed all the classical ideas of the time, shaped and consummated unique philosophies, and changed perceptions in "just what is art supposed to be".<br /><br />I remember going to MOMA everyday for lunch in the early 70's and soaking up everything that appealed, or that struck a chord in me. To be up close and personal with an artists work whom I admired in Art History and being there with it, sometimes brought tears to my eyes. <br /><br />So, if you have only seen Kandinsky's work (or others) on the web or in a book, treat yourself to a visit at a museum of choice and embrace it.<br /><br />Thanks Casey for the post. . .<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />Micros<br />Microshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051212648467751394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-43772143083704913632012-08-14T14:39:43.709-07:002012-08-14T14:39:43.709-07:00Karin, I found out much about Murnau - glad you br...Karin, I found out much about Murnau - glad you brought that up.<br /><br />I will look into his on paper works, too.<br /><br />Hi, Sonya. I like a few of his geometric abstracts, and when I think of how they were morphed over time by film (Disney & Looney Tunes) then it gets very exciting.<br /><br />Glad you read it, Celeste!Casey Klahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020906666248399435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-79748304314273696692012-08-14T00:50:30.954-07:002012-08-14T00:50:30.954-07:00I agree with Sonya.

But you know the best thing: Tomorrow in one month I will go to the village next to Murnau for vacation. I love it there and we have been there numerous times - the Blue Land.<br />Thanks for posting this, Casey.Karin Goeppert and Kenneth Burnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17562731210639216744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-29194521809655517232012-08-13T21:14:39.599-07:002012-08-13T21:14:39.599-07:00great post--enjoyed the links. great post--enjoyed the links.

I was familiar with Kandinsky as a name, but not his oeuvre or even his style.<br /><br />I like I guess what would be his earlier works, like the one you posted: colorful, expressionistic landscapes. There's one on the Tumblr blog "Winter Landscape" that I think is marvelous.<br /><br />The later stuff...with the amoebas, triangles and such? Not so much...but talk about a radical change in one's style! Sonya Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01879889885162011649noreply@blogger.com
