Anish Kapoor affirme le caractère spirituel de ses œuvres, un terme qu’il distingue du religieux et du sacré. Quelle est la nature de cette spiritualité ? Il s’agit de retrouver l’union avec « la Totalité », union proto-culturelle qui serait perdue par l’emprise du matériel. S’agit-il d’un retour au « primitivisme dans l’art » à la manière de Paul Gauguin et Barnett Newman ? Cette démarche est-elle influencée par l’héritage hindouiste de Kapoor, ou bien tient-elle, comme il l’affirme, à la fonction hypostatique universelle de la couleur qu’il désigne comme « alchimique »? Comment ce caractère spirituel est-il perçu par le spectateur occidental ignorant des diverses influences culturelles qui traversent l’œuvre ? L’œuvre porte-elle les marqueurs du spirituel par ses formes et ses couleurs ? Ce mémoire étudie d’abord les diverses influences qui nourrissent et permettent de comprendre l’expérience des œuvres de Kapoor. Il s’attache ensuite à décrypter les mécanismes phénoménologiques, neurologiques et psychologiques qui permettent à ces marqueurs de fonctionner dans le contexte du musée ou de la galerie d’art moderne. / Anish Kapoor asserts the spiritual quality of his work. By spiritual he means not the religious or the sacred but the possibility to be reunited with a « Totality », in a « proto-cultural » manner, by eschewing the material. Is this project a return to “primitivism in art” in line with Paul Gauguin and Barnett Newman? Is it influenced by the Indian heritage of Kapoor or is it based, as he claims, on the hypostatic function of colour, which gives way to a quasi alchemical experience? How is this spiritual potentiality of the work perceived by a Western audience, ignorant of Kapoor’s various spiritual endeavours? Does the work convey through its shape and colour the markers of the spiritual? This dissertation analyses the various influences that nourish Kapoor and inform his works. It then attempts to decipher the mechanisms through which those makers are efficient in conveying a sense of “spirituality” to the works within the settings of the White cube Gallery or the museum of modern art. They appear to be phenomenological, neurological and psychological.

Wassily Kandinsky wrote Über das Geistige in der Kunst, in 1912, and was translated from German into English by Michael Sadler. Naming it at first, “The Art of Spiritual Harmony” in 1914 it is known as, Concerning the Spiritual in Art. He wrote color and music theories based on angles, synesthetic experiences, subjective instincts, chromotherapy, and shapes. Kandinsky’s theories are worth continuing to research and bring forth into the new generation of technology where we can see music as numerical expressions. The goal of this iPhone Application is to teach users the relationship between color and music based on Kandinsky’s theories. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.F.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2015. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944) has been responsible for one of the most respected works in this field. Poetry, synesthesia and sensitivity are hallmarks since his childhood. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, art showed signs of breaking with the representation of the outside world model. In this scenario, Kandinsky sought the inner/spiritual content of the art work: the inner sonority. Through inner sonority, different outward forms can achieve the same resonance in the soul of the viewer. In his book "Concerning the Spiritual in Art", published in 1914, Kandinsky set out the main concepts related to inner sonority. The author seemed to predict new directions for art, in which external values would be reduced and inner sonority amplified. This dissertation presents a reflection on this scenario. It points out the path traveled by Kandinsky in the development of his language, focusing on issues concerning relations between codes. It also sets out the main concepts presented in his book , presents the Monumental Art, concept created by Kandinsky, in which several codes are related, brings an analysis of parts of the scenic composition "The Yellow sound", that is an example of the Monumental Art. And finally, it presents an art essay written by the author of this dissertation, in which elements of visual, sonorous and verbal codes are related through inner sonority / A relação entre os códigos visual, sonoro e verbal é um tema que sempre fascinou diversos artistas e pesquisadores. Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944) foi responsável por um dos mais conceituados trabalhos nesse campo. Poesia, sinestesia e sensibilidade são características marcantes desde a sua infância. No final do século XIX e início do século XX, a arte apresentava sinais de ruptura com o modelo de representação do mundo exterior. Em meio a esse cenário, Kandinsky buscou o conteúdo interior/espiritual de uma obra de arte: a sonoridade interior. Por meio dela, formas exteriores distintas podem atingir a mesma ressonância na alma do espectador. Em seu livro Do Espiritual na Arte , publicado em 1914, Kandinsky expôs os principais conceitos concernentes à sonoridade interior. O autor parecia profetizar novos rumos à Arte, nos quais os valores externos seriam reduzidos e a sonoridade interior amplificada. Esta dissertação apresenta uma reflexão sobre todo esse cenário. Aponta o trajeto percorrido por Kandinsky no desenvolvimento de sua linguagem, concentrando-se em assuntos concernentes a relações intercódigos. Expõe os principais conceitos apresentados no livro Do Espiritual na Arte . Apresenta a Arte Monumental, conceito criado por Kandinsky, no qual diversos códigos são relacionados. Analisa recortes da composição cênica A sonoridade amarela , exemplo de Arte Monumental. Apresenta um ensaio artístico criado pelo autor da presente dissertação, no qual são relacionados elementos dos códigos visual, sonoro e verbal, por meio da sonoridade interior
