This quote by Wassily Kandinsky suggests that true beauty is derived from the soul’s innate necessity to express itself. It implies that authenticity, a raw expression of one’s inner state or feelings, is what makes something truly stunning. This isn’t just about physical attractiveness; it refers to an inherent beauty that resonates on a deeper,more emotional level.
The “inner need” Kandinsky mentions can be interpreted as the intrinsic human urge for self-expression. We all have unique thoughts,emotions and experiences which we often feel compelled to share or communicate in some way – this could be through art,music,writing or even everyday conversation. When this expression comes from a place of honesty and authenticity – when it ‘springs from the soul’ – it has a certain beauty to it as it is indeed genuine and unfiltered.
Applying this concept in today’s world can be seen in various forms of self-expression such as social media posts, blogs, vlogs etc., where people share their personal experiences and thoughts with others. The ones that resonate most are usually those stemming from an authentic place within the person sharing them.
In terms of personal growth too this quote holds relevance. It encourages introspection and honest self-reflection as means towards growth. It suggests that acknowledging our own ‘inner needs’, understanding them and expressing them honestly can lead not only to personal fulfillment but also create something beautiful in it’s genuineness.
In essence then Kandinsky seems to say: Be true to yourself; express yourself honestly; don’t suppress your inner needs – for therein lies real beauty!
