The first issue is easily distinguishable from the second and third that also appeared in 1912 as they are both expanded and have 124 pp. whereas the first has 104. The present copy has small remains of stitching towards the inner margins so perhaps someone had this first issue printing inserted into the third issue binding which is sturdy as opposed to the wrappers of the first issue. “In Concerning the Spiritual in Art Wassily Kandinsky one of the most famous abstract painters of all time urges the reader to free themselves from art's traditional bonds to material reality. In this radical theoretical work he calls for a spiritual revolution in painting arguing that artists much like musicians should be allowed to express their own inner lives in abstract non-material terms. Investigating form and colour spirituality and tradition Kandinsky explores art's resonance with the soul its purpose and nature and its power to inspire us to stir our emotions and to help us see beyond the limits of our world. A significant contribution to the understanding of non-objectivism in art this book serves as an important landmark in modern art history and is necessary reading for every artist and art-lover.†From the Penguin Classics edition. “In this remarkable book anticipating “the spiritual turning-point†Kandinsky reflects on his understanding of progress in this direction. This is not a process that would happen automatically. It requires a lot of work and implies a great responsibility of both artist and viewer. The task of the artist is to find “the principle of the innermost necessity†that he or she can use through expressive means to achieve the goal “vibration of the human soul.†Using captivating analogies Kandinsky dwells at length on the artistic means: the psychology of color the compositional interrelation of forms etc. However the main goal of an artist still remains to find that very innermost necessity†that is based on the spiritual foundations of the individual. In his or her turn the work of the viewer is to find within him- or herself the purity of perception which at this level does not relate to the beauty of nature. The ideal imitation of nature as the summit point of artistic mastery has remained in the past. The impressions of impressionists the emotions of expressionists the experiments of cubists - all these stages have long been passed and now the task of the viewer is to see the beauty of pure color and pure shape. Kandinsky anticipates the emergence of abstract art as the purest form of influence on the human soul and views the future optimistically foretelling the upcoming emergences of the epoch of great spirituality.†from Sadler’s English translation </em> hardcover

Text in German. With laid-in "Der Ewige Jude" The Wandering Jew exhibition postcard postmarked Bremen 1939. Near Fine with light edge wear and age toning; postcard evenly toned contemporary German stamps on the verso with 1939 postmark. <p>In the aftermath of the confiscation of nearly 20000 art works from German museums Adolph Hitler's Ministry of Propaganda organized an exhibition of modern art in order to decry its racially impure deleterious character and supposed backing by Jewish interests in the Weimar era. The exposition was hosted at the Institute of Archaeology in the Hofgarten on July 19 1937 in Munich and later traveled throughout Germany. Organized by the Ministry of Propaganda leader Joseph Goebbels the show was designed to reinforce in the German public mind that subversive decadent or avant-garde art work would not be tolerated in the Third Reich. Attended by over two million visitors the show displayed over 650 confiscated paintings sculptures and prints by 112 artists primarily German including Georg Grosz Ernst Ludwig Kirchner Paul Klee Georg Kolbe Otto Dix Wassily Kandinsky Marc Chagall and many other now-acclaimed modern artists. Targeted artists were the subject of merciless ridicule and denounced with most works displayed unframed and obscured by painted slogans. Attended most famously by Museum of Non-Objective Painting predecessor to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum director Hilla R who supported affected artists like Vasily Kandinsky Rudolf Bauer and others by exhibiting their work in the United States. Many works were destroyed lost or re-homed overseas after the fall of the Third Reich. <br /> <br /> <p>Laid-in is an antisemitic postcard for the third part of a series of Schandausstellungen or condemnation exhibitions "Der Ewige Jude" The Wandering Jew. The show opened on November 8 1937 to January 31 1938 in Berlin under Joseph Goebbels' direction. The exhibition traveled for the next year and a half attracting over 700000 visitors and concluding in March 1939 in Magdeburg. Verlag fur Kultur- und Wirtschaftswerbung unknown
