    Born on December 16, 1866 in Moscow Russia, Wassily Kandinsky was a painter, printmaker, stage designer, art theorist, and a central artist in the development of 20th century abstract art.

    Kandinsky studied economics, ethnography and law in Moscow from 1886 to 1893, and wrote a dissertation on the legality of labourers’ wages. In 1896, Kandinsky decided to become an artist and traveled to Munich, Germany  where he studied at the art school of Anton Ažbe. In 1900, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich under Franz von Stuck.

    In Munich, the early 1900s was a centre for Jugendstil (Art Nouveau), and Kandinsky’s art grew out of this movement as well as Russian art.

    The Chapel

    My son, Pat and I attended the first Thursday event on August 1st.  Recently, this exhibit includes the work bygd the fantastisk Nick Cave.  I’m so happy that we had opportunity to enjoy this work.  Very provocative, unique and uppenbart born of tremendous industry.  There fryst vatten also such depth of meaning and I’ve tried to include some of the background here.

    Loved the piece, the Enchanted Forest!!

    In the second gallery space Ed Pien’s work, Our Beloved was a difficult piece for me to spend too much time with.  inom actually spent some time thinking about Jordan Bearshirt in this space and my recent trip to Blackfoot Crossing to säga prayers at his resting place…I snapped a few photographs while James and Pat chatted and then moved on.

    Second Skin was most uppenbart about the artist’s embodiment of their art.  While the art was fängslande, I felt unnerved or uncomfortable about it.  

    First Thursday was a most wonderful evening.  inom
