Wassily Kandinsky and Me|Goddess Art| Beautiful Women Artwork|Tips on Understanding Color in Art|Passion in Art
Abstract art, goddess art, beautiful women on canvas or a painting from the soul distorted to bring forth an image within the mind. Whenever you feel affected by the work of another artist, find out more about them! I paint goddess art and beautiful women art, works filled with passion and dreams I find within a fairies realm laced with tiny angels. Yet I try to look outside myself to find what others have to tell me, that might bring me closer to who I really am within the framework of artistic endeavors and the magical brush strokes I seek. We are fortunate in this life to come across the paths of brilliant artists who express emotions that we find our own selves relating to, one way or another. Kandinsky is one of those artists for me.
For most of my life I did not understand nor appreciate abstract art at all... until I started painting it! lol! I paint only hints of it, still reaching for that endless goal of hearing figurative goddesses sing and breathe.
Knowing more about artists who have seemingly found their expressions met I see there is so much more to discover, so I invite those tiny angels to help me light the pathway and bring me to a the sense of color Kandinsky wrote about.
I switch back and forth between freedom of thinking in art, no rules except that I spread my emotions across the canvas and finding only rules that strip my being from ever feeling fulfilled. It is not that easy at times. I think one has to be totally honest with who they are and who they hope to be. It is digging down inside your gut.. as nasty as that sounds. When we write poetry or anything else the purpose of the act is to express what we feel about something. It is the same with painting and sculpting. I tend to cross back and forth from realism to abstract and maybe some modern thinking. Modern to me anyway as I continue my search like Kandinsky. As I take in the work of Kandinsky I look with a longing to understand his emotions and his passion. To me, that is what abstract art is all about.

FIONA APPLE LYRICS
"Across The Universe"
[Written by John Lennon & Paul McCartney]
[Originally performed by The Beatles in the album "Let It Be"]
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind,
Possessing and caressing me
Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
They call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Sounds of laughter, shades of earth are ringing
Through my open ears inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a
million suns and calls me on and on
Across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Kandinsky Quotes- Tips on Color and art
"Objects damage pictures.""The more frightening the world becomes ... the more art becomes abstract."
"Color is the key. The eye is the hammer. The soul is the piano with its many chords. The artist is the hand that, by touching this or that key, sets the soul vibrating automatically."
"There is only one road to follow, that of analysis of the basic elements in order to arrive ultimately at an adequate graphic expression."
"Of all the arts, abstract painting is the most difficult. It demands that you know how to draw well, that you have a heightened sensitivity for composition and for colors, and that you be a true poet. This last is essential."
"All methods are sacred if they are internally necessary. All methods are sins if they are not justified by internal necessity."
"Each period of a civilization creates an art that is specific in it and which we will never see reborn. To try and revive the principles of art of past centuries can lead only to the production of stillborn works."
"The true work of art is born from the 'artist': a mysterious, enigmatic, and mystical creation. It detaches itself from him, it acquires an autonomous life, becomes a personality, an independent subject, animated with a spiritual breath, the living subject of a real existence of being."
"The artist is not a 'Sunday child' for whom everything immediately succeeds. He does not have the right to live without duty. The task that is assigned to him is painful, it is a heavy cross for him to bear."

Kandinsky at a Glance
Wassily Wassilyevich Kandinsky (; , Vasilij Vasilevi? Kandinskij''; ? 13 December 1944) was a Russian painter, and art theorist. He is credited with painting the first modern abstract works.
Born in Moscow, Kandinsky spent his childhood in Odessa. He enrolled at the University of Moscow and chose to study law and economics. Quite successful in his profession?he was offered a professorship (chair of Roman Law) at the University of Dorpat?he started painting studies (life-drawing, sketching and anatomy) at the age of 30.
In 1896 he settled in Munich and studied first in the private school of Anton A?be and then at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich. He went back to Moscow in 1914 after World War I started. He was unsympathetic to the official theories on art in Moscow and returned to Germany in 1921. There he taught at the Bauhaus school of art and architecture from 1922 until the Nazis closed it in 1933. He then moved to France where he lived the rest of his life, and became a French citizen in 1939. He died at Neuilly-sur-Seine in 1944.

The Fugue and Color in Art
The Fugue - Wassily Kandinsky
"The sound of colours is so definite that it would be hard to find anyone who would express bright yellow with base notes or dark lake with treble. Generally speaking, colour directly influences the soul. Colour is the keyboard, the eyes are the hammers, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another purposively, to cause vibrations in the soul."

- Beautiful lens. I am a Kandinsky fan as is my hubby. We almost bought one of his pieces a while back. May I suggest that you add some more special polaroids to spotlight his work. Oh, you haven't done a lensography yet? Let me know when it is ready for viewing! 5*****
