" "Nor, on the other hand, are there any masculine charms [in Gabriele Münter's work] either: no 'sinewy brushwork', no heaps of paint, 'hurled on to the canvas'. The pictures are painted throughout with a delicately and correctly sensed measure of external strength, with not a trace of feminine or masculine coquetry in the 'making'. We could almost say that they are painted modestly; i. e. that they were inspired, not by a desire for outward display, but by a purely inward compulsion.

Additional quotes by Wassily Kandinsky

What I have been lacking with this idea was depth and richness of sound, very earnest, complex, and easy at the same time.

The geometric point has, therefore, been given its material form, in the first instance, in writing. It belongs to language and signifies silence.
