Michel Henry on Abstract Painting: Kandinsky and the Painting of the Invisible

Summary/Abstract: In this paper I will investigate phenomenological aesthetics of Michel Henry, and his interpretation of abstract painting. Henry's focus is the work of W. Kandinsky, for which the French phenomenologist believes that it presents us with extraordinary example of abstract painting, which shows that all art essentially is of abstract character. Analysis will compare Kandinsky’s ideas with those of Henry, and will be particularly focused on the relationship between interior and exterior, on the question of the relation of content and means of painting, and on the problem of colour and sensual qualities. Results of the analysis will show the domain of the encounter and the possible outcome of phenomenological interpretation of Kandinsky's painting.
