CopyWhile Kandinsky in his theory sets priorities to the interior expression of colour and form, Baumeister points out that the essence of art is due to the intention of creation. Baumeister picks up the ideas of Kandinsky, but also states that a presentation of form or subject not necessarily is abject to the true and real expression of art. As much as Kandinsky refers to the «innere Notwendigkeit», Baumeister points to the process as central for the artistic value. Despite differences between the terms for all theorists is common the significance they attribute to the process of creation. According to Fiedler here lays the aim of cognition, to which Kandinsky turns to with the «Spiritual» and Baumeister with the «Unknown».
