Odessa, 1901

And now it's almost a house with balconies, galleries, shingles, Odessa around a typical courtyard, where he lived while Vasily Kandinsky. The long-awaited and with great difficulty "punched" through the Soviet obstacles plaque on the house, finally, reminds us of this. In the center of Odessa on the famous Deribasovskaya Street (where the famous sweet shop in "Gourmet" on the corner of the former Karl Marx, now Catherine), appeared a memorial plaque and bas-relief of the great abstractionist tireless efforts of Natalie Iosifovna Kaskiv, while director of the Odessa Art Museum, an active follower and advocate for outstanding artists.
Odessa became the mother-the cradle of many talents of world culture. Odessa tradition, musicianship and melody seaside south, voluntary motives and attitudes of young Basil showed his first path: music! No music can not be any direction of art. His first profession - the musical performances. Here he plays the piano and cello.
It is easy to imagine how these musical streams of melodies and emotions visible in colorful landscapes in his mind. It seems the perfect backdrop, appearing behind the scenes all sorts of silhouettes. It seems, Vasili simply could not begin to paint. In his first works appeared such innovative combinations of colors and shapes, sounds so poignant note ... He explained to his youthful observation that "the color of their unconventional lives, mysterious, free life." Hence, from Odessa boulevards, fragrant acacias and algae, came the mysterious concept of an exclusive color. His all-pervasive importance in the other organs of perception. As if all the Muses gathered together and ruled the ball! Each color has a special place, and if the couples whirl, waltz, creating an absolute figure of the dance. Later, this concept will be presented in the book "On the Spiritual in Art", where the sounds and colors become their flowcharts.

Began to develop a new art in the city by the sea, solar Odessa. The port city, open to all winds, trends, innovations, could not cultivate on his fertile cultural space modernistic art. Here in the beginning of the century active in Association of South Russian Artists (TYURH). Odessa fascinating exhibitions, concerts, lounges. Press replete with new definitions of modernistic findings: "spinach with fried eggs," scrambled eggs with onions "- excelled Odessa humorists, journalists on the first show - the Spring Salon, which was attended, as" modernists "Wassily Kandinsky. At this special attention. Subsequently, the artists created their group were also represented in the diverse collective exhibitions. One can only imagine the wave of rejection of the new public art!
But who, if not the artist, his asceticism leads the audience to accept the new standards, new trends, leads the way for the experiment? Opportunity to go along with the Creator on the rocky path in search of his Pegasus. Open new horizons of spirituality and self-improvement ...
In the next joint exhibition in Odessa, opened Dec. 4, 1909, is the first work of "phalanx" Kandinsky - soon went down in the New Munich Kunstverein ", organized in 1910. This international exhibition of paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings was organized by Vladimir Izdebski in the house of Prince Gagarin Str. Lanzheronovskaya 2. Now in this building Literary Museum, with a group of art which I was fortunate enough to work and make it a show of new generation of artists from the 90's I organized the group "Golden Wizard of Odessa. Perhaps because so close to me, this topic appeared in the performance of such passion conceived.
In the first international exhibition, which lasted until 24 January 1910, but work has already been submitted paintings by Kandinsky, Gabriele Munter, Marianne Verevkina, Alexei Yavlensky and others. The "Odessa Revue" on October 27, 1909 in anticipation of this event, noted that "the exhibition will be one of the greatest in Russia in its diversity and completeness of the exhibited works of international contemporary art, presented by well-known artists in all areas." Could not resist the pleasure to cite a few excerpts from the citations on the opening of the Salon on the materials of the newspaper Odessa News from December 4, 1909: "Some orgy of beauty and power, waste, carried away and confused ..." "There is a special room, already dubbed: Room horrors! .. Nerve and the ladies in an interesting situation here is very risky to enter "- writes in the same edition of the stranger. Or there is the same: "Finally, finally, these dead people, these dim Odessa's minds, these moth-eaten by worms and hearts ... excited, began to argue, got carried away ... Do not sleep, no sleep, no sleep," - calling Lohengrin to "Zigzag "December 8, TG
Cultural life began to seethe, zapestrela appeals "to give young priests of the art high road to the implementation of the cherished ideas!" They are called "revolutionary art", oppose "lovers mertvechinki". Their quest in spite of yesterday's art, the art of "weak-willed slaves of nature." It "has got now a dispassionate and relentless broom of death." And: "Salon VA Izdebsky same Salon of madness, as the tragedy of creativity." The search itself, " mortal combat, a painful, touching the walk has not yet revealed the strength and talent. But the future with you. "Your madness - our hope," - writes Burd-Sunrise in "Odessa News on 9 February 1911 his" Hymn to the madness. "
Published catalog of the first salons and exhibitions, and already the second international exhibition on February 6 - April 3, 1911 on the streets of Kherson, 11 with the same participation "Munich" article by Wassily Kandinsky "The content and form." He has also been made cover catalog. Could Kandinsky - ardent apologist, a theorist of abstract art - not to say their words in a multi-voiced chorus of supporters and opponents of the new method. As they say, the words of the song can not throw, I quote: "Every new beauty seems ugly, if you look at it a measure of the image of the past, it is ugly. Because something always hate those who are destined to seek and find a new beauty, the beauty of "tomorrow"=mess yesterday. (V. Kandinsky. "Where is the new art", "Odessa News, 1911, 9 February).
Creatively Odessa Wassily Kandinsky was associated for nearly 45 years.
