In publisher's typographic cover. In very good condition. Minor stains, restoration to the edges of the cover. This is the first publication of a well-known article, sent from Germany, in which the author criticizes the extremes in establishing rigid educational systems and the dominance of either "pure" or purely "utilitarian" art. Vasily Vasilyevich Kandinsky (1866-1944) was a Russian artist and art theorist, who stood at the origins of abstractionism. He was one of the founders of the Blue Rider group.
