Grandson of Kandinsky

[edit]

Kandinsky the artist had a son that died at the age of 3. His wife was Nina. How could there have been a grandson of Wassily Kandinsky? 189.204.159.168 (talk) 17:04, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Grandson

[edit]

Wassily Kandinsky had one son who died at the age of three. The subject of this article about the musicologist could not have been the grandson! 189.204.159.168 (talk) 17:07, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The claim has now been removed. See Talk:Wassily Kandinsky#Exhibitions sections. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:34, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have been told from personal accounts that Aleksey's son Anton Kandinsky claimed that Aleksey's grandmother was a 'Jewish Mistress' of Wassily, but that the relationship nor child were ever formally recognised. I don't think we'll find a good source for that, but I'll leave it here as a claim for anyone who wants to dig any further. JeffUK 12:16, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A bit surprising that Grove would publish that claim as a straight fact. Martinevans123 (talk) 17:17, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
They are user-submitted articles, by 'experts' but still it's submitted content. I know they have editorial oversight but it's quite possible their editors are not as familiar with 19th century Russian painters as they are with musicians! JeffUK 12:27, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
