Point and Line to Plane

A Dover Fine Art paperback of Wassily Kandinsky's 1926 treatise on the basic elements of painting: the point, the line, the plane. The translation is serviceable, the diagrams are reproduced clearly, and the price is low enough to risk marking up. The Dover cover is the standard art-history format, with a small reproduction and a lot of white space. It is a workbook as much as a text. Ideal reader: the painter who wants a theoretical justification for abandoning representation, or the viewer who looks at abstract art and asks what the shapes are supposed to do.
