Kandinsky: A Neglected Modernist?
Finally had a chance over the holidays to take in the Kandinsky show at New York’s Guggenheim Museum. I was a little taken aback in the museum’s brochure to read that Kandinsky is “perhaps the most neglected of the chief modernist painters.” Huh? It seems as if he’s been one of the Goog’s house gods for decades. Once I got past the printed word to focus on the work itself, such as the “Blaeues Segment,” 1921, I had a much more enriched time of it.
