There are two kinds of artists. The first kind "paint what they see." The second kind drink too much coffee. Wassily "Wassup" Kandinsky falls into the second category. His paintings have so many points in them that our mom wouldn't allow them in the house. She was afraid we'd run with one and lose an eye. And her fears were hardly groundless, as Kandinsky himself proved in 1927, when he stabbed a man to death with his "On White II" (see below).
The art critic Michael Henry described the "Kandinskian equation" as "Interior = interiority = invisible = life = pathos = abstract." He was almost right. It should read "Inferior = inferiority = failure = life = pathos = futility."

Lethal Abstraction
Here's a little trivia fact: Wassily is the name of a Russian Fluffernutter-like sandwich spread.
the keyword there is "like".

Human flesh tastes "like" chicken. Oh, and thanks for the info!

I love that painting and love contemporary art, but let's face it, it's pure aesthetic, things that look nice, but what they mean, it's a mystery!
