Wassily Kandinsky played a major role in this group, like some of his other colleagues, Kandinsky continued to explore new territories and open up new dimensions.
To give expression to inner impulses in every form which provokes an intimate personal reaction in the beholder. We seek today, behind the veil of external appearances, the hidden things, which seem to us more important than the discoveries of the Impressionists.

Wassily Kandinsky played a major role in this group, like some of his other colleagues, Kandinsky continued to explore new territories and open up new dimensions.
Personally I find his paintings aesthetically pleasing and joyful and serene, and whether Kandinsky put too much emphasis into his work by mixing philosophy, psychology or scientific theory is irrelevant, if anything it has opened up more opportunities to experiment with.
