Point and Line to Plane

More about the book

Kandinsky delves into the foundational elements of painting, focusing on the point and line as essential components. He introduces the concept of the basic plane, or BP, as the medium that influences the observer's experience. The point is described not just as a color dot, but as a dynamic element that varies in significance based on its placement. Lines emerge from the artist's applied forces, resulting in various forms. The book features numerous photographic examples and drawings, enriching the theoretical insights with practical demonstrations of these artistic principles.
