See link below!
Answer 2:
The site referred to is very interesting. It contains several photos of Kandinsky, a portrait of Kandinsky painted by Gabriele Münter, and a lot of self portraits by various artists. But NOT a single self portrait by Kandinsky. So he may not have painted any.
What is the name of the Kandinsky that is painted on both sides?
Two Riders and Reclining Figure/Study for improvisation V (is, or are) the only known Kandinsky painting that was (or were) known to be painted on both sides. However, it was a common practice among hungry artists of early 1900s to paint on fiber board - on both sides, and then split them up and sell them as separate pieces. The above mentioned Two Riders and Reclining Figure/Study for improvisation V was one of these paintings that were painted on a fiber board, and subsequently presented as gift to two separate individuals. In mid '90s, a NY auction house (probably Christy's) got a hold of both pieces, and sold it for around $20 million US Dollars, including commission.
I'm sure there were other two-sided paintings by Kandinsky that switched hands privately, and I am convinced of this because the play 6 DEGREES OF SEPARATION came out long before the auction that took place in 2005. I will consult my genius friend Kalli to make sure that the facts are straight.

What Kandinsky painting is in the movie Double Jeopardy?
Study for the cover of der Blaue Reiter Almanac, 1911 is the paiting Libby used to track down Nicholas Parsons.
As I recall, that Kandinsky was a minor oil sketch -- likely borrowed for the film from a private collection. Scanning the film's credits might clue you in a bit more, but that's not a sure bet.
Because it is not a substantial oil, you probably won't have luck tracking down the name or location. Thousands of Kandinsky paintings and sketches are owned by private collectors all over the world -- therefore the information about those works is kept private.
The character of Nick did state that the painting was from Kandinsky's Blue Rider period.

In the movie Six Degrees of Separation what was Sutherland's quote from Kandinsky?
It's not a quote from Kandinsky; it's just a description of the Kandinsky painting, which sets up the main theme of the play (chaos and order, two sides, two faces, of the same thing). And it's actually Paul who says it (Will Smith's character), not Flan (Sutherland's character), although Flan/Sutherland may have repeated it during the course of the play/movie.
Anyway, the line is "The Kandinsky! -- that's a double. It's painted on either side," during the scene in which Paul bursts into their apartment, all bloodied up. And then again at the very end of the play: "The Kandinsky's painted on two sides."
Sutherland's character does claim to quote Kandinsky during a cocktail party and I've been looking for the exact verbiage myself. It goes something like this: "It is clear that the choice of object that is one of the elements in the harmony of form must be decided only by a corresponding vibration in the human soul."

Why did some people consider kandinsky paul klee and edvard munchs work child like?
Because they don't appreciate the artistry of their work. They try to claim that a kid can paint just like that. If you find a kid painting as well as any of those three, tell the world about it. (Not likely.)
He was educated in Russia, worked for many years in Germany, then moved tp France. Had he lived today, English would have been a must. In those days, probably not.
