His letters reveal an artist who thought, communicated, and organized incessantly. He was also straightforward and warm-hearted, so it is especially surprising that a significant portion of his correspondence has remained unpublished until now. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Through astute--and at times witty and polemical--letters that Kandinsky wrote to his colleagues and friends, readers gain an insight into the artist's way of thinking and his everyday life. His correspondence also reflects the dramatic times in which he worked; Kandinsky lived through two revolutions, two world wars, the Nazi regime, four emigrations, and transformative events within the art world. \u003ci\u003eWassily Kandinsky: A Life in Letters\u003c\/i\u003e provides rich context into the corpus, circumstances, and personality of a monumental artist.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJelena Hahl-Fontaine\u003c\/b\u003e is a former curator at the Lenbachhaus in Munich and the author of several books on Wassily Kandinsky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 344\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.4 x 8.4 x 4.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 29, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51764146831648,"sku":"9783777440361","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/12d83a2e611b793f4459ce9f1aa01755.webp?v=1780243928","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/kandinsky-a-life-in-letters-1889-1944-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
