Wassily Kandinsky - The Sketchbooks is a collection of previously unpublished sketches and preparatory drawings that provide a unique insight into Kandinsky's artistic development from figurative to abstract art. The book contains hundreds of drawings from twelve notebooks (1889–1935), including studies for several of his major works. It shows Kandinsky's experiments with color, form, and composition, and reveals his search for a spiritual and innovative art form that would shape the expression of modernism.
