This book examines for the first time Wassily Kandinsky’s turn to “the Orient†in his early abstraction. Reframing him within colonial history, it reveals how his artistic innovations were shaped by Orientalist tropes, transforming our understanding of this modernist artist and his work from 1909-1913.
