About the portfolio:
Maidens in peasant costumes dance in forests outside of medieval cities, and knights ride in service of an idealized world. Xylographies (Xylographs) sounds Kandinsky's longing for the Old Russia of his imagination, a fairy-tale land of spiritual harmony. In these prints, Kandinsky reduces identifiable form and dematerializes figures and ground under a veil of decorative patterning, leaving only the most essential aspects decipherable. Kandinsky devalued recognizable subject matter, stating in an exhibition catalogue published in 1910, "Speaking of secrets through secrets? Is that not the content?"
Kandinsky likened printmaking to music, and his process here draws out "inner sound" of his subject matter. The portfolio's title is an antiquated word for woodcut, though it also suggests another wood instrument, the xylophone. Kandinsky placed two bars of an unconventional musical composition on the title page, above an image of a mounted rider, a figure he repeatedly used to symbolize the fight for new art.
