Sanatta Maneviyata Dair — Vasily Kandinsky

Kandinsky is painting music That is to say he has broken down the barrier between music and painting and has isolated the pure emotion which for want of a better name we call the artistic emotion Anyone who has listened to good music with any enjoyment will admit to an unmistakable but quite indefinable thrill He will not be able with sincerity to say that such a passage gave him such visual impressions or such a harmony roused in him such emotions The effect of music is too subtle for words And the same with this painting of Kandinsky s Speaking for myself to stand in front of some of his drawings or pictures gives a keener and more spiritual pleasure than any other kind of painting But I could not express in the least what gives the pleasure Presumably the lines and colours have the same effect as harmony and rhythm in music have on the truly musical Tanıtım Bülteninden
