Authored by Magdalena Dabrowski, this authoritative volume chronicles the ten monumental Compositions that Kandinsky conceived between 1910 and 1939 — grand, ambitious canvases he regarded as the highest expression of his spiritual and aesthetic vision. Drawing on rich archival research and close formal analysis, the text illuminates how each work emerged from a deeply considered interplay of color, form, and inner necessity, situating them within the broader currents of early twentieth-century European modernism.\n\nDabrowski's scholarship presents Kandinsky not merely as a painter but as a theorist and visionary whose writings, particularly Concerning the Spiritual in Art, were inseparable from his practice. Published in association with The Museum of Modern Art, New York, this volume carries the institutional gravitas of one of the world's foremost collections of modern art, and is richly illustrated with full-color reproductions, studies, and preparatory sketches. For anyone captivated by the origins of abstraction and the audacious belief that color alone could carry the weight of human emotion, this is an essential and profoundly rewarding encounter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49269334442203,"sku":"2026100009314-SECONDHAND","price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9d844c79-b83b-4638-843c-cff528392c01.png?v=1788998275","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009314-secondhand-kandinsky-compositions","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
