The Art of Spiritual Harmony is a book written by Wassily Kandinsky, a Russian painter and art theorist who is credited with pioneering abstract art. In this book, Kandinsky explores the relationship between art and spirituality, arguing that art has the power to transcend the material world and connect us with the spiritual realm.Kandinsky begins by discussing the nature of art and its role in human experience. He argues that art is not simply a form of entertainment or decoration, but a means of expressing the innermost feelings and emotions of the artist. He also contends that art has the power to communicate these emotions to others, creating a sense of unity and harmony among people.Throughout the book, Kandinsky draws on his own experiences as an artist to illustrate his points. He discusses the importance of color, form, and composition in creating a work of art, and offers practical advice for aspiring artists.However, the central theme of the book is the idea of spiritual harmony. Kandinsky argues that art has the power to connect us with the divine, and that the act of creating art is itself a spiritual experience. He explores the spiritual traditions of various cultures, including Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism, and shows how these traditions have influenced the art of their respective cultures.Overall, The Art of Spiritual Harmony is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between art and spirituality. It offers a unique perspective on the nature of art and its role in human experience, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of art and spirituality.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1914 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

This can be a fast read if you are just looking to skim the surface of Kandinsky's ideas or a deep see exploration of his creative concepts. I first came across selections from this in my graduate seminar class, but I would recommend this read to anyone who has an interest in art and creative expression. Possibly dense at times the overall volume is a quick read worth re-reading to savor and juicy bits. I have passed this along to friends, other artists, musicians, and students. Kandinsky's writing enriches his imagery, but you don't have to be a fan of modern or abstract work to enjoy the writing and concepts addressed in the book.
