GOZATU BIZITZA

Bizitza bere osotasunean gozatzea da gakoa. Hiltzen garenean arnasketa bukatzen da. Egunero gogoratu eta ohartu beharko genuke gure miraririk handienarekin: arnasa hartu eta bota egiten dugula eta horrek ematen digula bizitza. Gure esku dago arreta jartzea inguruan dohain ditugun hainbat eta hainbat gauzetan: eguzkia, airea, euria, janaria, familia, natura.....Urrun joan gabe daude disfrutatzeko era desberdin gehienak.

WASSILY KANDINSKY (1866 - 1944)

Russian-born painter Wassily Kandinsky is credited as one of the founders of pure abstraction in painting in the early 20th century. He took up the study of art in earnest at age 30, moving to Munich to study drawing and painting. Kandinsky approached colour with a musician´s sensibility. Kandinsky emerged as a respected leader of the abstract art movement in the early 20th century.

Kandinsky chose to abandon his law career and move to himself full-time to study of art. He began with conventional themes and art forms, but meanwhile he was forming theories derived from devoted spiritual study and informed by an intense relationship between music and colour.

Colour became more an expression of emotion rather than a faithful description of nature or subject matter. He formed friendships and artist groups with other painters of the time, such as Paul Klee. He formed the New Artists Association in Munich. The Blue Rider group was founded with fellow artist Franz Marc. He was also a member of the Bauhaus movement alonside Klee and the composer Arnold Schoenberg.

World War I took him bach to Russia, where his artistic eye was influenced by the construtivist movement, based on hard lines, dots and geometry.

Back in Germany he taught at the Bauhaus school in Berling and wrote plays and poems.

In 1933 the Nazis shut the Bauhaus school.

His vivid interpretations of colour through musical and spiritual sensibilities certainly altered the artistic landscape at the start of the 20th century going forward, precipitating the modern age.
