Kandinsky

As the renewer of art in the 20th century, Wassily Kandinsky created roughly 230 woodcuts, linocuts, et'chings, lithographs and posters. From 1 901 until the final years of his life, his work was accompanied by a steady output of prints, some of which were based on previously created paintings, and some of which were completely independent works of art. Nearly his complete oeuvre is presented in this book accom'panying an exhibition at the St,dtische Galerie Len bachhaus in Munich. For the first time ever the entire graphic works of Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1 944) is presented in an ex'tensive exhibition (from Oct 25th, 2008 ? Feb 22nd, 2009).

Two third of the exhibition therefore show works of this time. They are followed by the works
