WASSILY KANDINSKY was born in Russia 1866. He was one of the most important pioneers of abstract ar t. His pictures combined features of Art Nouveau with his memories of Russian folk art, to which he added a fauve-like intensity of colour. His move towards abstraction began with his philosophy about the nature of ar t, influenced by theosophy and mysticism. He did not reject representation, but held that
the ‘pure’ artist seeks to express ‘inner’ feelings and ignores the superficial. He was one of the most active figures in the Blaue Reiter group and taught at the Bauhaus until it was closed in 1933. He died in 1944. HELIOGRAVURE is a photo-etching process invented by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in the 1820s. It is especially noted for its rich blacks, subtle shadings and expressive tonality.
