I love how vibrantly alive paintings are when viewed in person. The decisions of the artist can always be noticed with greater detail. I also greatly enjoy painting, so when viewing a piece, I wonder about its creation. I've noticed something interesting about Kandinsky's work that I'm hoping this community can assist with.

When Kandinsky's work transitioned to the more concise abstraction (around 1926-26), much of his work included very clean lines, especially when using gouache and oil.
My question is: to achieve these very clean lines, did Kandinsky utilize a ruling pen?

I've read a bit of his writings, but I haven't come across a section where he discuses the tools he used. I've utilized a ruling pen before with gouache and appear to be able to generate the same affect. My curiosity to know the method of creation has brought me to post here, thank you!

I’m researching the connection between synesthesia and art, and I’m curious about how Kandinsky experienced his synesthetic condition. How did he perceive the relationship between colors and sounds? Are there any records or writings that detail his personal experience with synesthesia and how it shaped his work? I’d also appreciate any sources or reading recommendations on this topic.

Hello :)

Is this subreddit devoted to the painter Wassily Kandinsky or the AI model bearing his surname? I'd assume the latter, but am quite unable to tell.

Thanks for any responses... if they do indeed ever come!

This seems to be a very capable model, I would love to run it locally.

Is there a simple way to do that?
