About This Item
1912. KANDINSKY, Wassily. Über das Geistige in der Kunst. Insbesondere in der Malerei. 104 pp., illustrated with 10 original woodcuts by Kandinsky. 4to, 203 x 175 mm., bound in original wrappers with an original woodcut by Kandinsky, in a new cloth folding box. Munich: R. Piper & Co. 1912. First edition, first printing of Kandinsky's celebrated "The Art of Spiritual Harmony," which was issued in an edition of 1000 copies and endlessly reprinted. Kandinsky's text is probably the most important text on colour written by a major artist. A copy of this seminal work which is rarely found in its first printing, consisting of 104 pages, as here. A little wear to the fragile wrappers and almost invisible staining to a couple of pages, but otherwise a fine copy. Roethel, Kandinsky. Das Graphische Werk, p. 443. The Artist and the Book 137.
