Wassily Kandinsky was born into a genteel family on Dec. 4, 1866 in Moscow, Russia. He traveled widely and studied law and economics, but always had a passion for color. In 1896, he turned down an offer to teach and went to Germany to pursue painting.(born Dec. 4 [Dec. 16, New Style], 1866, Moscow, Russia-died Dec. 13, 1944, Neuilly-sur-Seine, France) Russian-born artist, one of the first creators of pure abstraction in modern painting. After successful avant-garde exhibitions, he founded the influential Munich group Der Blaue Reiter ("The Blue Rider"; 1911-14) and began completely abstract painting. His forms evolved from fluid and organic to geometric and, finally, to pictographic (e.g., Tempered lan, 1944).
