Wassily Wassilyevich Kandinsky (Russian, 1866 - 1944) was a Russian painter and art theorist. Kandinsky is generally credited as the pioneer of abstract art. Born in Moscow, Kandinsky spent his childhood in Odessa, where he graduated at Grekov Odessa Art school. He enrolled at the University of Moscow, where he studied law and economics, until he eventually began artistic studies (life-drawing, sketching, and anatomy) at the age of 30. Playful and poignant, Kandinsky is generally credited as the pioneer of abstract art.
