In this series of five slide talks, we focus on an artist who is either the subject of a one-person show or part of a group exhibition on view at a museum during the fall season. We consider the various or changing approaches to content and technique investigated over the course of a career. There are often surprises awaiting the viewer who attempts to follow and absorb the enormous stylistic diversity, often seemingly contradictory, involved in the aesthetic journey of restlessly experimenting artists. While the shows considered focus on a particular aspect of an artist’s work, we look at the varied aesthetic ideas that their art encompassed.

On this day, we will consider Wassily Kandinsky, subject of Kandinsky at the Guggenheim Museum through 01/13/10.
