He predicted a future for painting in its potential to redirect the attention of viewers away from the shallow materialism of the modern world toward the more profound intellectual and emotional concerns of their interior lives. His revolutionary work became a landmark in modern art history, helping to usher in the age of non-representational painting. This new translation also includes Kandinsky's later essay, \"The Question of Form,\" in which he interrogates and sharpens many of his earlier ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 148g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 195 x 128 x 10 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780241384800\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wassily Kandinsky","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46163789414650,"sku":"9780241384800","price":7.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1717155136666_book.jpg?v=1717230578","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/concerning-the-spiritual-in-art-9780241384800","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
