Although he travelled extensively, Kandinsky lived primarily in Germany until 1914 and again from 1922-1933, when he taught at the Bauhaus. He moved to Paris in 1934 and continued to draw and paint until his death in 1944. The first volume published for the first time many drawings and presented new insights into the artist's creative process.

This second volume is devoted to Kandinsky's thirty-eight sketchbooks that have remained intact. The two volumes on the drawings complete the series of Kandinsky catalogues raisonnés published by Philip Wilson. Indispensable for scholars, collectors and art lovers, the volumes on the drawings follow the same format and the same high standard as those of Kandinsky Watercolours.
