Monday 17 July 2006, 19.00–20.15

The Kandinsky: The Path to Abstraction 1908–1922 exhibition follows Wassily Kandinsky’s progression towards abstraction between the pivotal years of 1908 and 1922. Including many of his best-known and some lesser-known works, the show also examines the historical repercussions of these years in the context of the turbulence of the First World War and the Russian Revolution.

Sean Rainbird, the curator of the exhibition, discusses crucial moments and themes in the artist’s career, his use of colour and paint, and the impact that Kandinsky has had on the practice and study of abstraction.
