Wassily Kandinsky was a renowned Russian-born painter, wood-engraver and lithographer who is often regarded as one of the earliest pioneers of abstract art. This powerful art calendar brings together his most striking works, spanning his early paintings inspired by Russian folk art and fairy tales to his later works characterized by contrasting colours and striking geometric shapes. Informative text accompanies each work and the datepad features previous and next month's views. Flame Tree: The Art of Fine Gifts.
