La Collezione del Centre Pompidou, racconta il viaggio artistico e mentale di uno dei padri dell’arte astratta attraverso tutte le tappe del suo percorso.
Promossa e prodotta dall’Assessorato alla Cultura del Comune di Milano, Palazzo Reale, il Centre Pompidou di Parigi, 24 ORE Cultura – Gruppo 24 ORE e Arthemisia Group, l’esposizione, a cura di Angela Lampe – storica dell’arte nonché curatrice e conservatrice del Centre Pompidou di Parigi – e in collaborazione per l’Italia con Ada Masoero, è una grande retrospettiva monografica che presenta oltre 80 opere fondamentali dell’arte di Kandinsky in ordine cronologico.
Folgorato sulla via della mostra degli Impressionisti a Mosca del 1896, Kandinsky lascia la carriera universitaria per diventare pittore.
However, Palazzo Reale in Milan is presenting the first great Milanese exhibition of another great artist, Kandinsky. Segue il classico cursus degli studi sotto la guida di grandi maestri come Anton Azbé e Franz von Stuck a Monaco e soggiorna dal 1906 al 1907 a Sèvre, vicino a Parigi (Il parco di Saint-Cloud, viale ombreggiato 1906). The show will trace the artistic and spiritual evolution of this great visionary and revolutionary artist, from the colorful and figurative works of his art school period up to his most avant-garde pieces.
Vasily Vasilievich Kandinsky was born in Moscow on December 4, 1866, and four years later he moved with his family to Odessa, Germany.
He returned to Germany in 1921 to take up a teaching position at Gropius’ Bauhaus.
The rise of Nazism and the dissolution of the Bauhaus caused him to move to Paris in 1933. He then moved to France where he lived until his death in 1944.
He’s renowned as the first artist to create compositions that are purely abstract.

La mostra Vassily Kandinsky. It is in fact known that the artist actually used musical terms to identify his works, and called his most spontaneous paintings “improvisations” while describing more elaborate works as “compositions.”
With the exhibition consisting of over one-hundred pieces on loan from Paris’s Pompidou Center, visitors will be able to witness the artist’s chronological transformation.
Here, he taught at the Bauhaus school of art and architecture of Weimar until the Nazis closed it in 1933. Here his work came under the influence of his friends Jean Arp and Joan Miró. The works in this exhibition will take the visitor within the symphonic labyrinth of points, lines, surfaces, and colors, where each element has its own function, as in wanting to convey something on a symbolic and musical level as well.
He was not immediately granted admission and began learning art on his own. He died in Paris in 1944.
The exhibition offers Kandinsky’s works in chronological order, including such well-known paintings as The Old City (1902), Windmill (1904), Yellow, red, blue (1925). The only exception to the order is the surprise in the first room: the murals executed in Berlin for the Juryfreie Kunstaustellung, painstakingly recreated in 1977 by artist and restorer Jean Vidal from the original sketches.
The exhibition website gives full details of regular opening hours and special opening days, entrance prices for individuals, groups and school groups, and reductions.

Vassily Kandinsky at the Palazzo Reale in Milan – by Ellen Miller
Thanks to a renovation currently occurring at the Centre Pompidou, a major modern art museum in Paris, Milan is currently hosting a major exhibition of Vassily Kandinsky works at the Palazzo Reale.
The exhibition occurs on the heels of a major exhibition of Andy Warhol works in Pisa, pointing to Italy’s recent focus on modern art and major international exhibitions.
The Kandinsky works will remain on display in Milan through April 27 and can be viewed seven days a week, making it an excellent place to hit on days when Italy’s main attractions are closed.
The exhibition features over 80 Kandinsky works and is arranged chronologically, allowing visitors to truly understand the progression of the artist.
Kandinsky was an influential Russian painter and theorist, and he is often credited with painting the first truly abstract paintings.
Like other famous abstract painters, such as Picasso, his early works tend to feature more realist subjects and his later works a complete focus on the abstract.
Therefore, seeing them in the order in which they were painted truly gives the viewer an insight into the artist’s process.
When Kandinsky’s paintings come up for auction they generally sell in the 1, 500, 000 euro range, making him not only historically significant but also still relevant in the international art market.
Throughout his life Kandinsky lived in several different places, growing up in Europe, traveling throughout western Europe and eventually returning to Russia and the influence of both place and the people he encountered along the way is evident in his artwork.
Among the works on display will be The Grey (1919), Yellow, Red and Blue (1925), Accent in Pink (1926) and Multicolored set (1938).
For lovers of modern art or those simply hoping for a brief break from Italy’s overwhelming Renaissance art collection, Kandinsky in Milan is a truly unique opportunity to view the works up close before they return to Paris.

At the age of 30, giving up a promising career teaching law and economics, he moved to Monaco, where he attended the Academy of Fine Arts.
At the beginning of World War I, he returned to Moscow, but because of his total disagreement with the official theories on art prevailing in the communist city, returned to Germany in 1921. Here, besides attending a classical gymnasium (grammar school), he took drawing lessons as well.

Over 80 works by Vassily Kadinsky, on loan from the Centre Pompidou in Paris, are on show at Milano’s Palazzo Reale.
Born in Moscow in 1866, Kandinsky first moved Munich to study art in 1896, but the first world war forced him to return to Russia, where he achieved prestige, but also criticism of a form of expressionism not then appreciated by the younger artists.
