Wassily Kandinsky Biography:
Wassily Kandinsky was born in Russia 1866. A painter and writer on art he was one of the most important pioneers of abstract art, abandoning a promising university career teaching law to travel to Munich in 1896 to study painting. In 1901 he was one of the founders of an avant-garde society called Phalanx, which was the main forum for Art Nouveau in Germany.
