Point and line to plane

Book • 1947
"Point and Line to Plane" is Kandinsky's systematic analysis of the basic elements of visual art.

He explores the intrinsic qualities and psychological effects of points, lines, and planes, viewing them as the fundamental building blocks of artistic expression.

Kandinsky argues that these elements can be combined to create a universal language of form, capable of conveying deep spiritual and emotional content.

He emphasizes the importance of intuition and inner necessity in artistic creation.

The book provides a theoretical framework for abstract art, influencing artists and designers seeking to explore the expressive potential of basic geometric forms.

His theories connect art with mathematics and music.
