Expressionism inGermany Wassily Kandinsky (Russian, active in Munich and Paris, 1866-1944) The artist is not born to a life of pleasure. He must not live idle; he has a hard work to perform, and one which often proves a cross to be borne. He must realize that his every deed, feeling, and thought are raw but sure material from which his work is to arise, that he is free in art but not in life....The artist is not only a king...because he has great power, but also because he has great duties.Wassily Kandinsky, ConclusionConcerning the Spiritual in Art, 1912 Kandinsky developed his theory and practice of abstract expressionist art between 1908 - 1911: three years.
