Kandinsky begun his art career relatively late at the age of 30, when he entered a Munich art school after quitting his established teaching career. Monet & Blavatsky initially inspired Kandinsky to pursue art seriously due to some chance exhibitions that he frequented at this time. Theosophical theory was another key influence that brought his style of circles, triangles, and squares.
Kandinsky's mature age, relatively to his fellow students at art school, helped him to progress securely and also learn the art of theorism which played a key role in his artistic directions. Kandinsky eventually ended up in the Blue Rose symbolist group of Moscow after travelling around Europe.
Kandinsky's The Blue Rider, or Der Blaue Reiter, involved a use of strong forms and objects with intersecting lines to form a complex maze of rich colour and expression.
The return of Kandinsky to Russia coincided with the continuation of political difficulties in Russia and across the rest of Europe. After joining the Institute of Artistic Culture in Moscow Kandinsky also regularly taught form and colour analysis to an enthusiastic audience. Kandinsky was forced to seek a new path which began by his attendance at the Bauhaus of Weimar, after being rejected for the spiritual and expressionistic style of his art, at the Institute.
Kandinsky was one of Die Blaue Vier (Blue Four), with Klee, Feininger and von Jawlensky, which was formed in 1923. They travelled around USA gaining interest in their art. Kandinsky took many classes to teach about his views on both art & theory. After continuing into Germany the Nazis forced Kandinsky to move onto Paris after a campaign of bad press.
Kandinsky's time in Paris led to isolation due to the minority status of his abstract movement in the world's capital of art. Impressionism and Cubism were much bigger here. Here he used more fluid shapes in his works.
