Abstract (en)

Discusses Kandinsky's passage across the threshold into pure art; examines his call for a doubling from within to replace the doubling of nature, and notes the impact of this on 20th c. art; finally, observes that art is now approaching another threshold, which will require renewed examination of the question of doubling.
