Concerning the Spiritual in Art

Concerning the Spiritual in Art - Originally published in
1911, Kandinsky compares the spiritual life of humanity to a large triangle
similar to a pyramid; the artist has the task and the mission of leading others
to the top by the exercise of his talent. The point of the triangle is
constituted only by some individuals who bring the sublime bread to other
people. It is a spiritual triangle which moves forward and rises slowly, even if
it sometimes remains immobile. During decadent periods, souls fall to the bottom
of the Triangle and men only search for the external success and ignore purely
spiritual forces.
