Brussel shows the exhibition Kandinsky & Russia. From 8 March up to 30 June, you can come and admire more than 150 works of art at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium. Among these works of art: about fifty paintings of Wassily Kandinsky (Moscow 1866 - Neuilly-sur-Seine 1944), next to some popular art works and paintings of Larionov and Malévitch. Most of the works come from very renowned Russian museums such as the Russian Museum of Saint Petersburg.

After 100 years, Kandinsky returns to Belgium! In May 1913, he exhibited at the Georges Giroux Gallery, now gone but at the time a Brussels cultural hotspot. The paintings and works of art that can now be seen at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium take you back to the Russia of the 1901 – 1922 period: from symbolism to avant-garde. A truly wonderful journey …

The exhibition Kandinsky & Russia is subdivided in four separate parts with the following suggestive titles: "Experiencing the art of painting", "Listening to the art of painting", "Amidst nature" and "Kandinsky and mythology". It is the first time that this collection of 150 works is shown in Belgium. It shows the artistic and intellectual complexity of a true genius who drew inspiration at the same time from the Russian symbolist movement, Greek culture, German metaphysics, orthodox spirituality and esotericism.

Here you find other ideas for places to visit or events to do in Brussels, not taking into account the appreciation of other visitors for these places, nor for the area, the profile or the same experience.
