Wassily Kandinksy: Abstract Art

I never had an understanding of abstract art so when further researching it I took that it doesn't represent a person, place, or thing in the natural world but uses shapes, forms, colors, and textures to achieve its effect. Wassily Kandinsky is known as the father of abstract painting. He believed that the colors he used provoked emotions and that the person viewing the work would create their own depiction of it. I believed he accomplished this when researching his paintings online and making my own depiction of his paintings. This article was very interesting and informative because it stated the many abstract artists and how Kandinsky is known as creating the first purely abstract piece of art.
