Les écrits de Wassily Kandinsky ou le discours des fondements de la peinture abstraite
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Wassily Kandinsky is considered today one of the most prestigious abstract painters of the twentieth century. Despite his important role as the founder of vanguard movements such as Die Neue Künstlervereinigung, Der Blaue Reiter, etc. and as the theoretician of modern art through his numerous writings, his main achievement is more often than not centred on the “inventio” of abstraction. A certain art history likes to introduce him as the necessary link in the accomplishment — the “telos” — of modernism which would be highly visible within the stylistic transformations of his works, especially as one looks at them retrospectively. Within this System, it works as if artists never question the pertinence of their art and were oblivious to the status of their own production in art history: they are naturally considered as “prophets of their times” while not in the least concerned with the games of fame and the struggle for power. It seems that the three main texts of Kandinsky — Concerning the Spiritual in Art, The Blue Rider Almanach, and Reminiscences — written between 1911 and 1914 are not only interesting in regard to the avant-garde movements of the period and the explanations they provide for Kandinsky’s novel painting, but mainly because they are the means of an extraordinary “mise en scène” by the artist himself. A rhetorical analysis of these texts brings into light the construction of Kandinsky’s artistic identity and historical necessity which is still in effect today and on which modernist painting finds its legitimacy.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
