He then moved back to Germany and then on to France where he became a French citizen in 1939.<\/p>\n
Context:\u00a0Du Spirituel dans l\u2019art\u00a0<\/i>was written in 1912 right before the beginning of World War I. \u00a0The world was at a stand still waiting for the spark that would light the fire and bring about war.<\/p>\n
Language: He uses simplistic language that would be easy for anyone to read. \u00a0Kandinsky compares art to life and young life and uses such terms as “child” and “still-born”.<\/p>\n
Audience: He seems to be writing to the well versed art world. \u00a0Even though he writes in a simple style he uses a lot of jargon that most non art enthusiasts would not understand.<\/p>\n
Message: He wants to bring to light the lack of the”essential spirt” of nature in art at that time. \u00a0Every piece of art is a product of its time and culture. \u00a0He disapproved of artists painting for the money or fame. \u00a0Art was about divulging the meaning behind the work and to create these works to express ones feelings about life and what goes on in it. \u00a0Art is about educating and being able to share those personal thoughts with world. \u00a0He then talks about the spirituality and how it relates, and can be compared to, a triangle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
