Ronni AnconaGUEST
Do you know, I, the teaching, oh my God, the thing, I raised the money to take them to Paris on an art trip.
Ronni AnconaGUEST
Honestly, I've got to write the script, Kandinsky in it.
Ronni AnconaGUEST
But I, yeah, I mean, it was, it was quite, it was a rough school.
Ronni AnconaGUEST
That was such a learning experience for me.
Lesley DumbrellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And I think By the time I'd finished my art course, I really didn't know where I wanted to start.
Lesley DumbrellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But what had always intrigued me was particularly Mondrian and Kandinsky were the two artists that I looked at their work and thought, I can't understand this.
Lesley DumbrellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And instead of thinking, because I can't understand it, it probably isn't any good, which is the sort of arrogance of students, I turned it around and thought, because I can't understand it, there's probably a lot in it and I'm missing it.
Lesley DumbrellSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So I read about them and I looked at as many illustrations as I could find of their work and sort of slowly began to see that there was something there that I was really interested in.
Naomi ReaGUEST
Blake Year Arietta collection, which includes a Van Gogh painting that could break records if it meets its estimate, which is $180 million.
Naomi ReaGUEST
And Christie's also has a potentially record-breaking Kandinsky and a Klimt's landscape that's been in the same collection for over 30 years that's estimated at $60 to $80 million.
Naomi ReaGUEST
So I think that the headline sales will probably be good.
Naomi ReaGUEST
I mean, we'll see.
JoshuaHOST
But basically, they were shown two paintings by abstract artists.
JoshuaHOST
And those two artists were Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky, if I say their names right.
JoshuaHOST
So we'll refer to them as Klee and Kandinsky.
JoshuaHOST
Now, each of the boys was asked which was their favorite painting.
Adger CowansGUEST
It's in my studio because I think that I work from mixing colors and every color has a sound.
Adger CowansGUEST
Kandinsky wrote about that.
Adger CowansGUEST
And those sounds, those colors and those, you know, have those sounds and you're mixing those colors, you're mixing sounds too.
Adger CowansGUEST
I try to explain that to people that, you know, red has a vibration.
Will LachGUEST
And Hilma af Klint, I don't know if you've I'm sure everyone knows who she is, but I see her as this sort of love child of Georgia O'Keeffe.
Will LachGUEST
She's very female and feminist with geometric forms like Vassily Kandinsky.
Will LachGUEST
Amazing, amazing stuff.
Will LachGUEST
Well, they acquired a portfolio of 46 botanical watercolor drawings, which are unlike the work that brought her name.
Stewart GeddesGUEST
Yeah, I mean, I'm very influenced by French painting.
Stewart GeddesGUEST
And, you know, I think it was Kandinsky that said that the first phase of understanding the expressive dimension to colour is to appreciate its sense of warm and cool.
Stewart GeddesGUEST
And, of course, at a very high pitch, the foes put that into operation.
Bob ChaundyHOST
When you were studying at the RCA, you became interested in décollage.
19 MINS LATER
Stewart GeddesGUEST
And what you've got to try and get to is a point of objectivity with your own work.
Bob ChaundyHOST
Another thing you said, Stuart, is that you listen, in quotes, to your paintings.
Bob ChaundyHOST
Is that sort of a reference to Kandinsky saying that, you know, paintings have a musical rhythm to
Stewart GeddesGUEST
them? No, although absolutely.
E. Carmen RamosGUEST
So every class, it was always like, you know, go to this gallery, go to this museum.
E. Carmen RamosGUEST
You know, you want to study Kandinsky, you have to go to the Guggenheim.
E. Carmen RamosGUEST
You know, there's, oh, go look, there's an exhibition on Jacob Lawrence at the Brooklyn Museum.
E. Carmen RamosGUEST
So it was kind of, museums were my classroom from the very beginning.
Jim NollmanGUEST
And people who really got to me were Marcel Duchamp and Vincent van Gogh.
Jim NollmanGUEST
And I started reading autobiographies of some of the painters in the 30s, Kandinsky and Paul Klee.
Jim NollmanGUEST
So I had this strange thing going on where I was really an art connoisseur, but also loved Little Richard and Chuck Berry.
Jim NollmanGUEST
And I decided at some point and I call it a decision, but it wasn't like a conscious thing.
Tom DillonHOST
So just randomly split.
Tom DillonHOST
I think one of the groups were told they liked Klimt's artwork more than Kandinsky's.
Tom DillonHOST
And obviously the other group was told they liked Kandinsky's artwork.
Tom DillonHOST
So they were the Kandinsky group and the Klimt group.
Tom DillonHOST
They didn't really care.
Tom DillonHOST
They weren't interested in art, but they were told they were in those groups.
