With Alice Foster, art historian

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.
