Talk:Aleksey Ivanovich Kandinsky

Grandson of Kandinsky
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)

Grandson
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)


 * The claim has now been removed. See Talk:Wassily Kandinsky. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:34, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
 * 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. Jeff UK  12:16, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
 * A bit surprising that Grove would publish that claim as a straight fact. Martinevans123 (talk) 17:17, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
 * 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! Jeff UK  12:27, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
