Kandinsky believed that color was not merely a visual phenomenon but a spiritual one — a vibration capable of reaching the soul directly, without the mediation of thought or interpretation. He mapped each color to a spiritual force, a sound, a character.
The theory in practice
When blue deepens, it draws humanity toward the infinite, awakening a desire for the pure and finally the supernatural. The deeper the blue becomes, the more urgently it summons the viewer — a yearning for purity, for the final, for the beyond.
A note on yellow
Yellow is the earthly color par excellence. It can never achieve great depth. It is typical of superficiality, but it is active, agitated, and can be exhilarating to a degree that borders on the unbearable.
