Wassily Kandinsky
Concerning the Spiritual in Art
Buch
Excerpt: ...stratagems, and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as night, And his affections dark as Erebus: Let no such man be trusted. Mark the music. (The Merchant of Venice, Act v, Scene I.) Musical sound acts directly on the soul and finds an echo there because, though to varying extents, music is innate in man. Footnote: Cf. E. Jacques-Dalcroze in The Eurhythmics of Jacques-Dalcroze. London, Constable.-M.T.H.S. Everyone knows that yellow, orange, and red suggest ideas of joy and plenty (Delacroix). Footnote: Cf. Paul Signac, D'Eugene Delacroix au Neo-Impressionisme. Paris. Floury. Also compare an interesting article by K. Schettl…

Excerpt: ...stratagems, and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as night, And his affections dark as Erebus: Let no such man be trusted. Mark the music. (The Merchant of Venice, Act v, Scene I.) Musical sound acts directly on the soul and finds an echo there because, though to varying extents, music is innate in man. Footnote: Cf. E.

Footnote: By Komposition Kandinsky here means, of course, an artistic creation. He is not referring to the arrangement of the objects in a picture.-M.T.H.S. Painting has two weapons at her disposal: 1. Colour. 2. Form. Form can stand alone as representing an object (either real or otherwise) or as a purely abstract limit to a space or a surface. Colour cannot stand alone; it cannot dispense with boundaries of some kind. Footnote: Cf. A. Wallace Rimington. Colour music (OP. CIT.) where experiments are recounted with a colour organ, which gives symphonies of rapidly changing colour without boundaries-except the unavoidable ones of the white curtain on which the colours are reflected.-M.T.H.S.
