This is THE BEST Kandinsky book available!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the best book on Kandinsky, his life and his work that has ever been published. Will Grohmann produces over 400 pages of artistic mastery with his pen to compliment the colorful artwork of the Russian master. Packed full with many, many pictures, this book is fun even just to look through. Definitely an enlightening and enjoyable book. If you can find it, it is definitely worth a small investment. ...
