...used for effect, not naturalism - trees could be red, hills and horses blue. Pure color would become the central focus of his best works, a focus he pondered in his 1911 manifesto of abstraction, Concerning the Spiritual in Art. Art, he wrote in the book, comes from within, from "inner necessity," and colors and shapes speak to people just as musical sounds do: "Color is a power which directly influences the soul." Contemporary Russian mystic Helena Blavatsky had preached that a new, spiritual age was about to dawn, and Kandinsky was convinced. He saw the artist at the apex...
...Riccardo Ehrmann a puppet of the GDR regime? And did the SED have more control over the situation than previously thought? Contemporary historian Manfred Wilke doesn't think so.

His “Saturday Night Live” co-star Kristen Wiig makes confused faces with the best of them as his spacey wife. The most loveable character could be Joel (Martin Starr), the bespectacled and barely mustachioed carnival stand attendant who considers himself less...
...pope sits in a sea of faded velvet—his mantle and his chair—a fading man himself, not proud, with slightly bowed shoulders. His hands have a vitality and firmness that is balanced against his reticent, or perhaps suspicious, visage; the portrait recognized the inner life of its subject, which was something almost entirely new. Earlier, Michelangelo’s unfinished statues of slaves for the tomb of Pope Julius II also begin to reveal the psychological turmoil of their subject, but this Venetian school takes the artistic display of psychological depth to the next level...
