Theosophic and Anthroposophic Ideas in Wassily Kandinsky’s Aesthetic Theory
Abstract
The article analyses aesthetic theory of Wassily Kandinsky in order to find out ideas directly or implicitly connected to occult and esoteric systems, especially popular at the times when the theory appeared. Tracing theosophic and anthroposophic ideas in Kandinsky’s theory stems from the fact that all the European occult sciences of that period somehow originated from E. Blavatsky’s theosophy and R. Steiner’s anthroposophy.
