Wassily (also Vasily) Kandinsky: A Russian painter born in 1866, Kandisky is credited with being the originator of the abstract art movement (1910), which evolved out of expressionism. He was a co-founder of the Blaue Reiter (Blue Rider) Group in Munich in 1911 and taught at the Bauhaus University in Germany with Paul Klee during the 1920s.
