"Sounding canvases. Kandinsky. Duduk and organ"

Saturday 9 July

The fantastic riot of colors and shapes in the work of Vasily Kandinsky made his contemporaries state the indisputable fact that genius lives next to them. Being one of the founders of abstractionism, he perfectly mastered the classical art technique. But the search for a new language made him decisively break the usual stereotypes. It is all the more interesting to compare Kandinsky’s paintings with the music of Jan Svelink, organist from the 17th century, Mendelssohn and Schumann, classics and innovators of the 19th century, Nikolai Sidelnikov, our contemporary. Indeed, in the paintings of Kandinsky, the past is combined with the future. And the present seems unreal.
