Designed to accompany the first full-scale exhibition of Kandinsky's work in London at the Royal Academy of Arts, this is a beautiful book containing 168 colour illustrations of Kandinsky's work on paper. It traces his development from an unremarkable painter of Russian folk scenes to the geometrically precise and clinical draughtsmen of the later abstract creations, culminating in the final, strangely micro-organic images of the 1940s. Whitfield's introductory essay charts Kandinsky's career with wonderful lucidity, and is particularly good on the tension between Kandinsky's theory and practice, although less sure of quite how significant the works on paper are more generally, and what sort of legacy Kandinsky has left for future generations; but perhaps the book will provide the possibilities for just such a reassessment of Kandinsky's standing within the history of modern art. --Jerry Brotton
