Summary/Abstract: Speaking about the phenomenon of abstract art, we often credit the merits of the first "founder" or "pioneer" in this genre to Vasily Kandinsky. Being one of the earliest artists who used the term "abstract" in the period of development of fine arts, Kandinsky is an artist - theoretician who recreated the Renaissance idea of feeling, the vital, the terrestrial and self-knowledge in his works - distinctive and innovative for the period. Noting the foundations of perception of the abstract and spatial structures, Kandinsky wrote the book "On the Spiritual in Art. Point and line to plane" It will not be a mistake to say that he was the first "pure" artist, who had entirely focused his work on cleansing and simplifying images to the plane, depriving himself of the image due to his belief that excessive specificity prevented his paintings and self-expression. In his theories, Kandinsky offered to the general public a summary of the way in which the work of art is created and put it in the frame of visual composition consisting of two basic elements - the inner - emotional and the outer - accessible element.
