Absolut Abstrakt is the title of the grand Kandinsky-retrospective which opened this weekend at Lenbachhaus in Munich. Sunday I went there, not to many people as I expected. The exhibit is so complete and it shows how Wassily Kandinsky who was part of Bauhaus gradually developed his abstract style.
The earlier works are woodcarvings (Holzschnitte) and then he ads this bright colours of red, blue, green. Actually he understood, that I learned, painting and music as similiar forms of arts and his paintings had some leitmotivs. The exihibit than openes up in the newly-designed rooms of the Blaue Reiter collection of Lenbachhaus.
If you go there, also pass by the exhibit showing of architect Sir Norman Foster plans to renew the Lehnbachhaus building ensemble. In the other rooms previous works of Foster & Partners are presented which all reference to history: the Reichstag, the British Museum and the current plan for the Moscow Pushkin Museum.
