Abstract

The purpose of this article is the manifestation of the influence of V.V. Kandinsky on the artistic processes in China in the 20th century. There is a resonance between Eastern aesthetic and philosophical conservatism, the centuries-old Chinese traditions of the symbolic expression of worldview meanings and individual experiences in landscape, still life, animalistic, plot and everyday compositions, and the revolutionary innovations of the generally recognized pioneer of Western non-objective art.

The phenomenon of this paradoxical resonance explains the rapid spread in an extremely inert cultural environment of the methods of alien abstract expressionism as a self-sufficient system of abstract pictorial-spatial relations: color, light-tonal, linear-rhythmic.

Thanks to the charm of innovative painting in combination with a program of original theoretical provisions, the work of V.V. Kandinsky performed the function of a conductor of abstractionism and modernism. Moreover, it helped Chinese artists to return to the national foundations and show their value to the world, the prospects for the humane humanity of the 21st century.
