Inside this Book – In the Bauhaus period, Kandinsky offers a systematic overview of his reflection on graphic elements, elaborating the experiments and exercises whose result was in part the second great theoretical work—Point and Line to Plane (1926)—and in part a new style that can be characterized as geometrical. The work from the preceding period was characterized by bursts of colours; mobile masses erupted across the canvas diagonally and were deposited in zones of turbulence. The cosmic action of force was everywhere, such that even a seemingly negative theme like ‘The Flood’ seemed to be simply the result of an overabundance of life. This was the period of ‘lyric abstraction’—a sumptuous proliferation of pure pictorial configurations with an intense Energy, a direct expression of the most powerful drives of Being—where Kandinsky, the genius of colour, donned striking finery. Many artists were so fascinated by the intensity of this lyrical painting that they sought in vain to reproduce it.
