Change was in the air everywhere. Cezanne and his fellow Post-Impressionists paved the way. Picasso and his contemporary Georges Braque were quick to follow, turning the art of seeing and the use of perspective on its head and giving us a highly influential new movement known as Cubism. It is Wassily Kandinsky, however, who gets the credit as the painter of the first truly abstract artwork in 1911. Inspired by a glimpse of one of his own paintings turned on its side in his studio, he quickly recognised the potential in this altered view of the world and the possibilities it opened up for him as an artist.
