Additional Information
Wassily Kandinsky is known as a major figure of modernist painting, but as a writer he is largely unknown. In 1912 he published a book of poems, in German, under the title Klänge ("Sounds"), in a limited edition which was never reissued. In 1981 the Yale University Press published the collection in an English translation by Elizabeth R. Napier, with the original German alongside. With their quirky surreal mode of expression, the poems are interesting literary evidence of the attraction Kandinsky felt in that period for the abstract art by which he became renowned in later years. The book's title suggests the metaphor of visual art as sound object, and by naming one of the poems "Lied" ("Song") Kandinsky evidently hinted that some of his texts are potentially singable. I thank Daniel Weinzweig for drawing my attention to Klänge. The texts are used with the kind permission of the Yale University Press. -J.B.
