Yet even in the creative environment of the Bauhaus, Kandinsky at times felt alienated, as he wrote to Galka Scheyer in 1925, "It is not easy to 'get to the bottom' of my work and to sense what is living beneath the often very uncommunicative form. . . . I experience the same thing every time I progress a step further. For every new step forward a chorus of disappointed friends chants: 'Why don't you continue to paint as you did before?' And there often come times of great loneliness." View Provenance |
