More about the book
For centuries, humanity could only produce "representative" paintings, that is, subjective and abstract. It was not until the 20th century in Europe that the first objective and concrete painting was created, that is, the first "non-representative" painting. The art of "non-representative" painting is the art of embodying, in and through a colored drawing, a drawn painting, or a proper painting, a pictorial beauty that has not been embodied, is not embodied, and will not be embodied in any real object outside of the painting itself, that is, in any non-artistic real object. This art can be called the art of Kandinsky, as Kandinsky was the first to paint objective and concrete paintings (starting in 1910).
