Wassily+Kandinsky

[|**R**]Wassily Kandinsky was an amzing artist. He made lots paintings. One of them is called //**Composition VII**.// This is one of my favorites of his. This painting belongs to the Nonfigurative art style.

This outstanding artist was born in Moscow, Russia December 16, 1866. He then moved to Odessa. His father ran a tea factory there. He was known for his great style and artistic eye. Wassily was born into a family that put a lot of pressure on him to have great success. His parents never thought of him being an artist. They always thought of him as a lawyer. He even went to school to be a lawyer. A few years after he graduated, he dicided to be an artist because he was great at it. Soon after he decided to be an artist, he went to a school of art called Anton Azbe's (Yugoslavian artist) prestigious private painting school, where he received the first skills in image composition, in work with line and form. That perticular art school didn't satisfy him. He then went to Munich Academy of Arts, and studied under Franz Stuck, "German graphic artist Number One". Wassily's teacher was very happy with his work. His teacher thought of him as being too bright.

During his art school period, Kandinisky met a woman named Gabriela Munter. Soon after that, 1903, he divorced his wife and he and Gabriela traveled across Europe.
