Gaston Lesaulx, //Peintres impressionnistes et symbolistes.// (Paris: Le Barc de Boutteville, 1890).

Books listed here refer to art movements in Europe in the early 20th century. This was the topic of Kandinsky's //Concerning the Spiritual in Art// and //Letters from Munich//. There is an outcry among the abstract artists like Kandinsky and those he refers to (listed below in the "paintings" section) for reform in European painting. These movements spurred the now-popularized abstract painting technique which focuses on the importance of symbolism through color and form.

Journal Articles:


 * 1) “Movements in Twentieth-Century Art Before World War II,” [].
 * 2) Beate Ziegert, “The Debschitz School, Munich: 1902-1914,” //Design Issues// 3, no. 1 (Spring 1986): 28-42.

These journal articles outline art movements prior to world war two in Europe and the Debshitz Schule in Munich. The article on Debschitz Schule outlines the general teachings of European art in the early 20th century which were criticized by Kandinsky and his contemporaries.

Paintings: **Artists referenced by Kandinsky **

“Van-Gogh-0011.24165829.jpg (JPEG Image, 1024x768 pixels) - Scaled (43%),” [].

These paintings are samples of the artists that Kandinsky and //Letters from Munich// reference as fathers of the impressionist and symbolist movements. All were well respected by Kandinsky and extensively mentioned in his //Concerning the Spiritual in Art// as having an understanding of the spiritual aspect of art. These artists were not well-respected in their time however, now, post-impressionist movement, they have gained a large following.

The videos above serve different functions. The history of European art DVD shows an overview of the art movements in Europe in the early 20th century. The Twelve-Tone video explains in detail Schoenburg's method for composition. Schoenburg being a well-respected composer is mentioned in Kandinsky's writing often. In addition, it is important to highlight the relationship between music and painting through the eyes of Kandinsky. He believed very strongly in this relationship and includes many composers as contributors to the modern art movements. The third video is a collection of Kandinsky's works put to music in a slide show of sorts.
