A Guided Visit to the Kandinsky Exhibition
Join us on Sunday, June 2, for a guided visit to the marvelous exhibit “Kandinsky and Russia.” You will discover a large exhibition showcasing the work of Vassily Kandinsky, regarded as being the father of abstract art. One hundred and thirty art pieces from several major Russian museums, such as the State Museum in Saint Petersburg, will plunge visitors back to the most crucial period of Kandinsky's career: 1901-1922.
Kandinsky, one of the most important artists of the 20th century, owes his fame to his first abstract piece Picture with a Circle, painted in 1911, which sent shockwaves through the world of art and changed it forever. The Russian artist had created a style of painting in which colorful gestures transform the artwork into a narrative which combines myth and fantasy, sensations and observation, literature and music.
A century later, the Russian maestro's paintings remain modern and relevant. The exhibition aims to show the significance of this staggering upheaval in its Russian context.
Please note that this visit is limited to 15 people.
