What am I Waiting For?

Sheila McMullan called this morning to let me know that the Perivale gallery will be closing for the season on September 18th. Time goes so quickly.

Kandinsky

Last week I was interested in Eugene Delacroix's thoughts about the superiority of painting and music over literature. Perhaps these ideas are explained in Wassily Kandinsky's 1911 book Concerning the Spiritual in Art.

Kandinsky proposes a mystic vision of art, one that brings music and painting together to promote a spiritual change in those who experience it.

The idea is that art should touch us at a level beyond that of beauty.
