We are now in a similar position to that of the modern artists in the second half of the 19th century. The Academy - art schools (mostly run by universities these days), government-controlled funding bodies, etc. - control and constrain art. 'Research' replaces practice and business plans replace the artist's initiative.

'Between Text and Image in Kandinsky’s Oeuvre: A Consideration of the Album Sounds', published in Tate Papers, Autumn 2006.
In 1938 Wassily Kandinsky published the text 'My Woodcuts' in the French periodical XXe Siècle. As was so often the case, when he wrote about his prints he focused largely on general artistic principles: the majority of the text is devoted to a general discussion of the need to privilege 'synthesis' over 'analysis' in both art and in life. However, he specifically referred to the album of poetry and engravings Sounds (Klänge), which had been published in Munich c.1912, as 'a small example of synthetic work', and it is this aspect of the album that is the subject of this article.
