Concerning the Spiritual in Art by Kandinsky

Book Recommendation - - Concerning the Spiritual in Art (1911) by Wassily Kandinsky Kandinsky's book gives a painter's view on the purpose of art, on what holds an artwork together and on the duty of the artist. I can only recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn something about music through the eyes of a visual artist.
