Wassily Kandinsky ABSTRACT SCULPTURE
Wassily Kandinsky ABSTRACT SCULPTURE Wassily Kandinsky was born in Russia on the 16th December 1866. Kandinsky loved music, especially opera, and he used this to help him with his paintings. Kandinsky is most famous for his works of abstract art. About 1909 Kandinsky began to think that painting didn't need a particular subject, but that shapes and colours alone could be art. Over the next several years he would start to paint what would become known as Abstract Art. Kandinsky was one of the founding fathers of Abstract Art. ABSTRACT SCULPTURE
