Vassily Kandinsky (1866 - 1944) was a major figure in twentieth century art and the undisputed master of abstraction. He was born in Moscow. Before finally settling in France, he spent the period between the two world wars in Berlin and taught at the Bauhaus from 1922. He developed a geometric artistic vocabulary that attached great importance to the intuitive process.
