At the turn of the 20th century, fearless artists such as Kandinsky and Mondrian believed that the purest art was that not dependent on a narrative, or with identifiable objects, but instead with the power of the lines, the colours and the shapes and the messages they communicated.

This is the third and final talk in the Figurative to Abstract Art History talks series led by Alice Foster.
