Abstract "Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944) was an influential figure in twentieth century art. This book examines his masterwork, Painting with White Border, (1913), along with related studies. One essay examines the painting's iconography and its connection to the artist's theoretical ideas. Another, drawing on a recent conservation study, explores Kandinsky's creative process, materials, and methods"--Provided by publisher.
