Abstract
This research paper delves into the emotional resonance and artistic significance of abstract art, with a focus on the groundbreaking contributions of Wassily Kandinsky. Abstract art, distinguished by its departure from representational forms, enables artists to convey emotions through color, shape, and line, fostering a uniquely interpretative experience for viewers. Kandinsky, a key figure in this movement, integrated music and color theory into his work, demonstrating how visual elements can evoke profound emotional and spiritual connections. Through an analysis of his use of color, form, and his theoretical frameworks, this study explores how Kandinsky’s compositions transcend traditional art forms, offering enduring inspiration to the art world. While his subjective approach to color-emotion associations has faced critique, Kandinsky’s legacy remains vital, emphasizing the transformative potential of abstraction in emotional and visual storytelling. This paper aims to enhance the appreciation of abstract art and inspire future artists to harness its expressive power.
