December 16th, according to the new style, is the birthday of Vasily Kandinsky. At the age of 30, he gave up a promising career as a lawyer and went to Munich to study painting. His searches in the world of art led to the creation of an innovative movement – abstractionism. In this video, we figure out whether there is skill and beauty in abstract paintings, why abstractionism appeared at all, how its principles are related to music, and whether the average viewer can enjoy it without studying tomes on art history.
