Primes

• Abstraction in Art
  • The deliberate reduction in representational fidelity to emphasize non-mimetic formal properties (Kandinsky, 1911)

    This sourceDover. Original German: Über das Geistige in der Kunst, Munich: R. Piper, 1911. Foundational manifesto theorizing abstraction as spiritual/expressive practice grounded in the autonomous expressive power of color and line; directly supports the reduction-in-fidelity signature (D37-002) and the design re-use case (D37-008).

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
