    Kandinsky’s work was objective until much later in his career but he bordered on non-objective early on.
    Think about what is the subject matter of a painting that has no objects. some non-objective artists concentrated on only color like Rothko, others on line line Kline or shape like Kelly. but I would hardly call Kandinsky the inventor nobody invented it. Many different artists furthered the idea. Look at Cezanne’s St. Vicoire ptgs. They are so abstract and remain only slightly representational.

    I can tell you the real story about Kandinsky and how he invented abstract art. One evening after being out sketching all day he came home and happened to notice one of his paintings on the upstairs landing but the light was weak and the angle was such that he couldn’t make out the subject matter of the piece. It struck him how very beautiful the painting was even though he couldn’t tell what it represented. this led to his epiphany that painting can be valid and dynamic without a subject.
    Abstract art was invented.
