Vasili Kandinsky was a Russian painter who was born in 1866 in a wealthy family. He studied law and economy he stood out from it.
Painting was a hobby till he got 30, when he moved out to Munich to study on art school. Now he is considered the father of abstract art because in his work he develops the foundations of it. He took inspiration from cave paintings, impressionism, fauvism and Expressionism to create his work.
He also created groups of vanguard artist, but in general, he was a vanguard artist who stills influence on the 20th century.
The reason why I like him is because even when he was really successful in a formal career he changed I guess that he understood that he really liked to do and dedicated. I’m not saying that I don’t like laws but I admire him for realized what he really wanted, and he went for it!
