Concerning the Spiritual in Art

The Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky wrote this shortly after completing the watercolour Untitled, often considered to be the first ever abstract painting. Having progressed his work through early influences of Russian folk art and Post-Impressionism, he arrived at his colourful and emotive abstract works, informed by his belief in painting as an expression of the artist's inner life.
