That's where I first saw Kandinsky: at the Guggenheim. I hadn't even heard of him before that, being a right Philistine. I had only just arrived in New York on a sunny Sunday for a short business trip more than 30 years ago. Went for a stroll through Central Park and decided to pop into the Guggenheim (something else I'd never heard of. I know, I know) as it looked like such an interesting building. I took in an Ellsworth Kelly exhibition (very interesting) and then fell across the Kandinskys. Wow. One of those days that stays with you forever. Changed my whole outlook on painting and art and life.

So happy for you - I still remember standing in front of possibly my first Kandinsky in London, late 90s at the barbican centre, Russian masters, (I think) - art on the weekend was a regular pastime with friends 4:41 - but I was actually entranced somehow - not sure I’d call it spiritual but it was the start of a great love for me that’s for sure 🥰

How can it be suggested that these paintings aren't pretty? They are among the most beautiful, intriguing images I've ever experienced.

I love this film. Thank you for sharing.

pay attention. This is how you teach art without being boring. Very compelling to watch. Never understood abstract art until now.

Thanks a lot for sharing this movie! It was such a pleasure to watch❤️

I love the hammy style. Once you get past the intro this movie is EXCEPTIONAL at helping learners visualize the timeline and location of his works! Morphing the riders and rowers really helps!

This is a very interesting video that illuminates the life of Kandinsky. Looked good.

KANDINSKY'S WORK IS ALIVE, SPEAKING, MOVING EVERYONE WHO CONTEMPLATES ITS ESSENCE. THANKS FOR SHARING THIS.

GREAT STUFF !!!!!! THANKS 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

inspiring biography; well done; you cant get enough of Kandinsky

Kandinsky is a great asset to continued dialogue​ with fellow artists and non-Artist also.

What a fantastic tribute! Magnificent!! Thanks for sharing!

Beautifully done documentary. Thank you for introducing us to this Russian creative genius. 👏👏👏

I love this ! Thank you!

Some have the ability to "see" outside the box. Interlace with emotion, and presto ! we have distortions and surreal imagery. It is perception, that when sincere and truthful, can be alarming and, sometimes, quiet disturbing. gd. Yorkshire, England.

ONG, MALAYSIA : Kandinsky's Art starts with the canvas as a dot that will pulsate,stretch, transform and give life and energy to the visible and invisible things that touch the body , mind and soul with stories to tell amg layers to explore. The music, the rhythme, religion, the sciences, the humanities,mathematical buoyancy will merge in and out of the canvas.

Amazing works of art 🎨 ❤️

This documentary absolutely refuses to let you look at the pictures Kandinsky painted. How frustrating.

beautiful, exquisite production; now, a part of my art history class.

This is a terribly pretentious movie, less about the artist than the movie director. Kandinsky deserves better

I think this style was chosen because It was made for an exhibition... so it had to be a bit bigger than life. You're probably watching it on a browser eating Doritos.

Brilliant ! Kadinsky one of my very favorite painter that transcends time and space... if only I could own one of his paintings

Were these paintings done in oil or acrylics? I have gone to the museum for a few years. I went Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC in 2017. Haven't been to the Guggenheim museum yet.

honestly i'm more interested in the song that plays around 32:23 and what the name of it is,. Once it started playing, I payed more attention to it considering I enjoy his earlier works.

3:10 "Are you ready, really ready for Kandinsky, ready in your heart of hearts?" Heavens above!

Sublime su pintura. Necesidad interior. De lo espiritual en el Arte.

He's the greatest ---

Art is part of life for life is larger than Art but if we reach a point that can be streched into many elements with powerful imagination reaching perception and finally the truth. Then Art is Life and Life is Art? So the dividing line between a genius and a moron is pretty very fine. To see Art to the fullest,we must also use the sixth sense. Art is puzzling, perplexing and complicated for there many breaking points.We musy explore. ONG, MALAYSIA.

Wonderful!!!

So, whose music most inspired him?

Interesting theories as colour and sound are similar in description and most subjective hitting the musical scale, but with paint.

Stefan, I must agree with the comments of several who have arrived here before I have. At the risk of evaluating a gift horse -- why this commercial advertising narrator? I realize you have worked very hard and see you have done a very good job here. I wish for my comment to be constructive.

Ack, who thought this style of narration, the voice and the bizarre soundtrack made any sense together in this unwatchable movie. Poor Kandinsky.

No mention of a major influence on his artistic output, theosophy. That makes a film about the man, half baked.

What is the name of the song at 1:08?

I really enjoyed this mini doc. on Kandinsky. Just imagine being him, and trying to break free from the social restrictions everywhere, but especially in the art world. I have to wonder how a new artist today can break free from today's social expectations or restrictions. Or do we even any?

The colours are the wrong shape!

Спасибо дорогой Василий Васильевич за ваши великолепные работы. Thank you Vasiliy!

Superb ❤️

Not my cup of tea, the colors clash in my opinion but the documentary is so helpful in my research

I’m conflicted - I can gaze at any Kandinsky work all day, & there’s some really nice cinematography mixed in, even some of the music (sounds like The Bulgarian Voices choir?) is pleasant if misplaced; but the narrator & the words chosen.....some of it is insufferable :/

Like si has llegado aquí y te mola.

This made me love Russia a little bit more

Give credit to the woman discussing his early paintings, 1907.

The sound is slightly muffled, just enough to make a hard of hearing person such as myself wish for closed captioning. I've come up against this before. Since the narration is important to this video I found it terribly frustrating to watch and gave up after only 4 minutes of viewing.

beautiful colors with no content

I much prefer Kandinsky's later works. There i can feel the music, the harmony, the space. His earlier works, for me are too much, overdone, like he is trying too hard. But this is the creative process, 1st apparent chaos, & eventually arriving at clarity and beauty.

This is the most fucking annoying documentary that I have ever watched... I love documentaries. I love Kandinsky

Starts great then the woam who needs some fresh clothes takes over from the painting- terrible.

The most patronizing voice over... couldn’t listen anymore than 5 mlns.

maybe a lot was lost in translation. The film was made for a german language audience.

the narrators voice and style don't bother me. Yes he is pretentious, patronizing, pompous - and many other P words. But ironically, he is not pretending. I know he is over the top and manipulating, he knows he is over the top and manipulating. Truth is, most of the people you talked to today are more pretentious then this character. You just don't know it.

Horrible narration. Could not watch it for mre than 4 minutes. Too bad I actually wanted to watch it.

silly point of view

I was really excited to watch this but could not listen to the awful narration style, very disappointed....As somebody below says, it sounds like an ad for aftershave...

Love the art; hate the film. So much to work with; such a waste.

How silly. This is like the Carson Clay film within Mr Bean's Holiday; pretentious crap. Can't blame Kandinsky- he was raised by an ant, if you believe the narration.

Nice documentary spoilt by the painful voice-over.

He is not a genius. He is a painter. Such hyperbole.

Is that hyperbowl or hyperbely?

Kandinsky and artists like him are sharing a POV of a very limited number of people. Totally dislike his work. Art museums and wealthy patrons are the only ones pushing this crap...using BIG WORDS/CONCEPTS to try to make it more than what it is...the artist’s form of personal therapy. And if you don’t understand the SECRET (non-sensical) LANGUAGE you’re to be ignored.

Kandinsky looks confused af

An insult to an artistic pioneer.

Easily the worst scripted art documentary I've ever seen . Horrendous.

The narrator sound like telling story about Noah the Arch, why people to day can not be natural in doing things ? And always mostly sound " over much " just let the work of Artist himself speaking to audience, often complicated acts or speak destroy the simple truth, its distraction , artificial explaination damaging natural beauty, one explaining a beautiful lake by shaking the clear water. It will make the water dirty and all fish run away, good work with bad narrator make the good work ruin, flatering beautiful w oman with bad poem its turn in to corniness , and even insult, nature telling about all of this things but many dont listen anymore, we dont need to add any poem on to roses, unless roses is not good enough,

The music is terrible !
