From April 2 to 24: participation in the international exhibition "Abstract Art" (Abstracte Kunst) at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, which was conceived as an open manifesto of the European avant-garde against Nazi cultural ideology. Kandinsky's monumental "Composition IX" occupied a central place in the display.
July – September: Kandinsky takes an active part in the launch and design of the French art review XXe Siècle ("20th Century"). For the third issue, the master pens the definitive theoretical essay "Abstract or Concrete?" (Abstrait ou Concret?), in which, among other things, he expresses a preference for the term "concrete" over "abstract", arguing that non-objective art creates a tangible new reality rather than abstracting from nature. The article is illustrated with the author's own woodcuts.
July: participation in the major London exhibition Exhibition of 20th Century German Art at the New Burlington Galleries, organized by British art historians in defense of artists persecuted by the Nazi regime.

July 28 — Yves GUERRINI : "Cette composition illustre parfaitement la dernière manière de Kandinsky, lorsqu'il s'établit en France. Le biomorphisme et le lyrisme de cette œuvre pourrait faire penser aux formes biomorphiques que Miro commençait de peindre à cette époque." »

July 26 — Carole : "He’s tired of the formalities set down about painting. He will, at this time, do what feels good. Some may say a regression , for him it is a liberation! You would have had to follow his journey to understand where he is now. Like or dislike,is not in his vocabulary." »

June 27 — Dany : "I adore wassily's concentric circles. I didn't realise it was this small. I first saw it on a calender and was determined to copy it hooking rug style for a wall hanging.Done in hand dyed skirting bought from charity shops. It actually only took me 3 weeks. It is such a talking point when I have visitors. Funnily enough I dont care for his compositions but adore the two circles pieces." »
