Museum of Non-Objective Painting

The Museum of Non-Objective Painting was an art museum founded by Wassily Kandinsky in 1927 in Moscow. It focused exclusively on abstract art—works that don't depict recognizable objects or scenes but instead emphasize shapes, colors, and forms to evoke emotions and ideas. Kandinsky believed that art should express pure feelings beyond the physical world. This museum aimed to showcase the development of abstract art and its spiritual qualities, playing a significant role in the early 20th-century movement towards non-representational art. It was an influential institution that helped elevate abstract art as a serious and meaningful artistic pursuit.
