Pioneering Russian painter and theorist (1866–1944) who takes a place among the seminal figures in the development of abstract art. ALS in German, signed “Kandinsky,” one page on a 3.5 x 5.5 postcard depicting a street in Dessau, Germany, July 19, 1925. Letter to Mr. Beberniss. In full (translated): “Sorry that I couldn’t see you. I was at your place twice (once with my wife), but unfortunately didn’t meet you. We both wish you and your wife all the best and greet you cordially.” In very good condition, with a few creases and various punch holes along the left edge (affecting a few words). At this time Kandsinsky was teaching classes on design and theory at the Bauhaus, which had just moved from Weimar to Dessau in March 1925 because of political pressure and decreasing funding. During this same period his artistic style was undergoing a transformation, with increased use of geometric shapes and patterns. Kandinsky is scarce in any form and highly sought after as a leading figure in abstract art. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
