Kandinsky, Wassily, 1866-1944

"Concerning the Spiritual in Art"

e., the
inclination to light or dark caused by the pair of colours just
mentioned. These colours have once more their peculiar movement
to and from the spectator, but in a more rigid form (see Fig. 1).

FIGURE I

First Pair of antitheses. (inner appeal acting on
A and B. the spirit)

A. Warm Cold
Yellow Blue = First antithesis
Two movements:
(i) horizontal
Towards the spectator <-----<<< >>>-----> Away from the spectator
(bodily) (spiritual)
Yellow Blue
(ii) Ex- and concentric

B. Light Dark
White Black = Second Antithesis

Two movements:
(i) discordant
Eternal discord, but with Absolute discord, devoid
possibilities for the White Black of possibilities for the
future (birth) future (death)
(ii) ex-and concentric, as in case of yellow and blue, but
more rigid.
