Wassily Kandinsky began as a law student in Russia, but traveled to Germany and France to study art. He was first inspired by Claude Monet's Haystacks (1890-91), as you can see from his own painting, Landscape with Tower (1909). One day, he came home and saw his Landscape with Tower from a distance. From that distance, he only saw the formalistic qualities of the painting (i.e. color, gestural brush strokes), which inspired him to focus on color and form as stated in his book, Concerning the Spiritual in Art. Moreover, Kandinsky explains in his book that Realism only pleases the audience physically in their eyes, but not spiritually or psychologically. So, he was also inspired by color, form, and music because these three things are purely abstract, and thus, please the mind in a psychological way. Consequently, his art progressed towards non-objectivity, as evidenced by his Black Lines (1913).
