In beautiful Ottawa, at the National Gallery of Art, a show that was not expected to uplift, but to provide some food (images) for thought, provided this lovely painting by Kandinsky. The show was entitled "The 1930s: The Making of The New Man" - more on that later.
I've always wondered why the great art historian Kenneth Clark had such admiration for Kandinsky. I admit that some of our artistic choices are idiosyncratic. But, seeing Kandinsky's "Succession", I understood the intelligence and intuition that made him into a great (but flawed) modern painter.
