«Kandinsky: The Path to Abstraction» is the art essay by Hartwig Fischer, Sean Rainbird and Shulamith Behr, published by Tate in paperback (224 pages).
The volume studies Kandinsky's formative years and his transition from figurative painting to abstraction. It reviews the influence of Russian folklore and the southern German landscape, his role in founding the expressionist group Blaue Reiter and the suppression of descriptive detail in search of a spiritual reality close to music.
The book, in English, served as the catalogue for the exhibition at Tate Modern in London (22 June–1 October 2006) and at the Kunstmuseum Basel (21 October 2006–4 February 2007).
For fans of modern art, of Kandinsky's figure and of the origins of abstraction.
