Improvisation 7: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Improvisation 7 is a painting by the Modern Russian Abstract-Expressionist Wassily Kandinsky. It is a work of oil on canvas and was painted in the year 1910. Improvisation 7 sees Kandinsky bury his adored color beneath a heavy black line that governs the picture by breaking it into various sections. The effect is not altogether unlike that of wrought iron in the molding of stained glass. The black line in Improvisation 7 allows each colorful section to flourish independently. In addition, the lines create geometric patterns. Color in this painting does not blend so much as it rests on top of each other. In certain areas such as the stretch of green at the bottom of the canvas the yellow paint rests firmly on top, creating a “popping” effect. This painting’s glory can be found in the energy, or the emotion one feels when gazing at it. It is not merely art for art’s sake, and it is not meant to be studied too deeply. Rather, Kandinsky invites you to measure your own reaction when looking at it in hopes that it will spark a feeling of life within all of his viewers. That is the highest goal of Abstract Expressionism and is the reason why it is still studied in the pages of art history today. In a world that is changing rapidly, color is a constant that is always prevalent and can always be identified with on some level. Minimize

Upwards: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Upwards 1929 was painted by Russian Abstract Expressionist Wassily Kandinsky in the aforementioned year. It is a work of oil on cardboard measuring seventy by forty-nine centimeters. This painting exhumes a confident and steady tone certain to arouse feelings of profundity in all who gaze upon its didactic approach abstract thinking. The painting clearly emphasizes the feeling of taking place in the sky, highlighted by the appearance of motion existing in the split and shifting circle. Kandinsky’s toned down pallet places greater emphasis on form and movement in this painting, reducing the tones to dulled down blues, a mellow orange and an off white. There is a strong linear drive governing the structural quality with a vertical axis running directly through the center of the canvas. In addition, there is a replication of another axis in the upper right region of the canvas that was included with the intention of serving as a visual reminder of the concept of structural balance and upward motion. Kandinsky’s approach to this painting, as with most of his abstract pieces, is to let the viewer take the pilot’s seat and steer the painting into whatever direction they should so choose. Upwards 1929 is a paradigm of independent thought and growth inviting new deliberation of form apart from premeditated meaning already given by most artists in a finished piece. Upwards 1929 entreats you look at the world differently after viewing it. Minimize

Improvisation 19: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Wassily Kandinsky of Russia’s avant-garde painted Improvisation 19 in the year 1911. An oil painting on canvas, the painting measures about one hundred twenty by one hundred forty-five centimeters. Kandinsky’s Improvisation 19 was painted with the intention of its color striking first and foremost. Widely known for his placement and distortion of abstract figures in his artwork, Kandinsky strived to create emotion through the use of color and shape. Notice the slight gradation occurring between the blue and red and the subtle merging to create a light purple above the visual center of Improvisation 19. Notice the use of the heavy black lines as they rest over the lower left region of this piece. They are indicative of a mass of people as suggested by the facial forms. Below them streaks of orange and yellow glow fiercely and create the impression of living souls. The figures on the right, however, elongated and hollow, show merely blue at their core. Not present in Improvisation 19 are Kandinsky’s signature clean cut planes holding down the background. Geometric patters appear in the form of abstract arms and legs along the right and left sides. Above, a heavy black line closes off the top region and keeps the eye focused on the center region most richly laden in color. Kandinsky’s improvisations were painted somewhat crudely in relation to his unique style and this is what gives them so much character. Minimize

Small Worlds II: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil re ... Read more

Small Worlds II: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Small Worlds II was painted in 1922 by Moscow native Wassily Kandinsky of the German Bauhaus School. A lithograph, Small Worlds II is an abstract piece, measuring about twenty five by twenty one centimeters. This piece is held together by a number of repeating geometric forms that anchor most of Kandinsky’s abstract works. Notice the sharp group of lines intersecting over a broad blue circle that dominates the visual center. The rest of the painting is comprised of a smart combination of full and half circles, creating tension between bent and curved line. Even the background takes the abstract shape of an isocoles triangle but is conflicted by rounded edges. This creates a working tension in the composition. Lines hint at a belonging to triangular form but only intersect, only suggesting an angle should follow. Two black circles, the top one larger than the bottom, stand out for their weight and shape. There is a balance of color in order with the larger yellow half circle depicted opposite rectangular yellow lines crossing in the upper left region. The philosophy inherent in Small Worlds II reflects the beliefs of Walter Gropius’s Bauhaus, where Kandinsky went to teach in 1921. Kandinsky shows us the importance of color in his work and the liberty of the artist to play with form and range with his use of color and line. Minimize

Red Oval: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reproduct ... Read more

Red Oval: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Moscow native Wassily Kandinsky painted Red Oval in the year 1920. It is an oil painting done on canvas and measures seventy-one and a half by seventy-five and a half centimeters. This is an abstract painting and reflects the artist’s study of the geometric forms and color. The yellow quadrilateral is juxtaposed against a background laden with tones of jade and teal. On top of that rests the fruit of Kandinsky’s imagination. One can see a delicate balance between triangles, circles, rectangles and the red oval from which the title might draw its name. Red Oval also includes Kandinsky’s signature intersecting lines. These lines cut precisely across the canvas and run freely into contrasting forms. It is the contrasting forms and cutting edge avant-garde spectacle of color and shape that guides this Kandinsky piece. Red Oval is an artistic discovery captured on canvas for the observer to freely interpret. Kandinsky’s approach combines curved lines, jarring points and swirls of vibrant color into a celebration of the possibilities one might encounter when applying paint to canvas. There is no method for trapping the eye’s attention or guiding it through the piece. The eye is given a plethora of choices in this composition and for this reason it reflects the objective of the artist. The intention of this piece is not to invite debate over the symbolic nature of the presented shapes but instead to promote a sense of ethereality through color. Minimize

In Blue: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reproducti ... Read more

In Blue: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Russian Abstract Expressionist Wassily Kandinsky of the German Bauhaus painted In Blue in the year 1924. In Blue is a galvanizing display of power and contrast. It is an electric current, a war of attrition between bent and unbent line. Notice the positioning of the large triangle, convoluted with a maelstrom of geometric shapes. Adjacent to the large triangle a glowing red circle pushes inward, breaching the hypotenuse. Yet, through the entire clutter of shapes and color, the mess appears beautiful. Its colors are complimentary and are equally balanced. Kandinsky’s use of ambiguity with the depicted forms are meant to heighten his philosophy that color and shape in art are meant to be exploited in order to form a closer path to the audience. Here symbolic barriers between the piece of art and its viewer are torn down. Kandinsky’s colors In Blue flood the canvas and act as nothing more than variable sequences of two and three dimensional shapes that create complex patterns. There becomes no need to show anything moe to the audience other than possibility of more creation stemming from the artist. These paintings breed independent abstract thought for their purity and genius. The pieces beg to be mentally rearranged hours after staring at. Take heed of Kandinsky’s use of line in this picture as translucent shapes give way to new layers of possibility and interpretation. Minimize

Colour Studies: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil rep ... Read more

Colour Studies: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Colour Studies is a painting by the Modern Russian Abstract-Expressionist Wassily Kandinsky. It is a work of oil on canvas. Colour Studies is split into four quadrants, each row of color contributing to provide an entire spectrum. The painting is a burst of energy meant to strike the emotional center of its viewer. Rather than focusing on form or subject, Kandinsky instead breaks his focus down into one great interpretation of color. The viewer is invited to engage on their most basic level rather than scouring the canvas for clues as to what each row of color could mean in relation to the next. It is merely art meant to enliven the audience and awaken them to the possibility that art could still be a tangible method of changing lives even in a rapidly expanding, ever changing world. While subject matter will constantly evolve with reality, pure color will always be a constant from which we can draw inspiration and emotion. Kandinsky’s intention was to redefine color as a tool for the viewer’s eyes to react to as their ears might when hearing a piece of music or a taste bud might erupt when experiencing a particular sensation at the bite of a certain type of food. Color for that matter, as shone in Colour Studies, acts as an x-factor for an artist to apply as necessary when catering to a certain mood. Minimize

Improvisation 35: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil r ... Read more

Improvisation 35: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Russian Abstract Expressionist Wassily Kandinsky’s Improvisation 35 is a piece washed in brilliant tones of bright colors and sweeping lines. This painting captures a feeling of excitement and clamor, as a great mass of instruments all honking, squeaking shaking and popping at the same time. It is a beautiful storm, a storm washed in complimentary colors that bleed into one another in some areas while stopping completely in others. This juxtaposition of sporadic boundaries and free space is what makes Improvisation 35 a product of genius comparable to few others who attempt the craft of Abstract art. A piece by Kandinsky is easily recognizable as such for its austere method of sticking true to craft and belief. Kandinsky’s pictures are fueled by the motor of color and line. Improvisation 35 includes long stretches of interwoven purple, yellow white and green. Color collides and bends amongst itself, and the viewer is left to freely interpret whatever they care to see. The artist’s work merely acts as a vehicle to send the viewer to whatever frame of mind he or she who looks at it should go. There is no right way to look at this painting, and no wrong. It is more than art for art’s sake and it is still nothing more than a tremendous explosion of determination of color and the presence of a guiding line. Minimize

Mountain: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reproduct ... Read more

Mountain: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Perhaps no painting better reflects Russian avant-garde painter Wassily Kandinsky’s love of color better than his 1909 masterpiece Mountain. The glory of this painting begins with a background showing broad planes washed in hues of bright blue, red, green and yellow. The use of white creates contrast and boosts the rest of the spectrum as well. Kandinsky’s forms are purposely ambiguous and invite free interpretation from the viewer. Mountain was created with the intention of inspiring without having to rely on a familiar object or scene. Kandinsky takes the viewer onto the front lines of artistic inspiration, offering a scene of pure creative genius. Notice the way that colors interact with each other on this canvas. There is a distinct line separating the blue from the red in the lower right region of the painting. Below that, a sharp black line separates a jagged smear of yellow from its white and blue borders as well. Even amongst the red tones inhabiting the upper regions of this work, each color stands apart even in the midst of dramatic gradation. It is as if Kandinsky wanted the distinction of every chosen shade to stand apart as its own force so that no color might go un noticed. The overall compilation draws strength from its borders, its abstract shapes and its ability to create a sense of gusto through its exhilarating array of colors. Minimize

Improvisation 11: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil r ... Read more

Improvisation 11: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Wassily Kandinsky’s Improvisation 11 was painted in 1910, one year before his involvement with the famous exhibition Der Blaue Reiter (“The Blue Rider”). Improvisation 11 promotes Kandinsky’s opinion that color acts as an x-variable in a painting. Color has the ability to manipulate a composition and create a piece of art that can connect deeply with its viewer. Improvisation 11 creates tension through a seemingly reckless display of color and form that co-exists in an exciting and vigorous piece. While the figure in the lower right corner appears to be a dog, and could very well be due to the artist’s love of painting animals, it was not Kandinsky’s intention to draw attention to its meaning but rather its relationship in the larger context of the painting. The shape has been rendered to exploit its color and form. It is separated from the yellow background by a heavy black line that is characteristic in most of Kandinsky’s work. Notice the exaggerated yellow triangle at the visual center of this painting. Its demand for attention in turn elicits more yellow to jump off of the canvas. A streak crosses the center of the painting to the right of the yellow triangle and is broken into strips by heavy black lines similar to the wrought iron barriers one would find in a stain glass piece. There is a strong separation of colors in this painting allowing each to hold its own important place on the canvas. Minimize

Moscow 1: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reproduct ... Read more

Moscow 1: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Moscow 1 was painted by Wassily Kandinsky of the Russian avant-garde in 1916. An oil on canvas, this painting is a blaze of colorful glory composed in the manner of Kandinsky’s abstract style. Color in this piece both blends together and sits apart from one another through the use of line. Kandinsky often played with lines his artwork, using them as he needed to give his work the structure or fluid impression that he sought. This piece has both. Look to the sky of the upper left region of this painting to see a blended mixture of white and blue fading into the yellow beneath it. Below, the city takes the shape with its structure and geometric use. It is possible to see rectangles, triangles, square grids and also the artist’s signature bent triangle that appears in the blue and orange streak at the upper right middle section of this composition. Moscow 1 depicts the clash of both old and modern architecture in Russia around the turn of the nineteenth century with massive buildings interacting with antiquated turrets. This piece is not only a celebration of Kandinsky’s bright pallet and appreciation for the nature of creation but also a look into Russia’s storied past. Moscow 1 speaks volumes for the artist’s ability to transcend reality and bend it according to the whim of his brushstrokes and tone. Minimize

Houses in Munich: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Houses in Munich was painted by Russian avant-garde artist Wassily Kandinsky in the year 1908. This painting, an oil on cardboard measuring thirty-three by forty- one centimeters depicts a residential neighborhood in Munich, Germany. Kandinsky, well-renowned for his celebration of color and exaggeration of lines, shows us a scene meant to strike a chord in the soul of those who appreciate the freedom and exuberance of expressionism. Color provides a spark to this piece with rich, warm tones of red and yellow sitting placidly against a mellow orange sky. In the background long rectangular strips of blue and green stand next to each other and create a sense of abstract serenity. Notice how Kandinsky groups his forms together to create individual masses of color amidst a field of green grass. The people in Houses in Munich are separated by lines and variations of color but in essence occupy one shape or unit in the same way that the individual houses stand as one unit despite being divided into different properties. In the middle ground simple geometrical shapes sit stacked on top of each other to form what appears to be a horse and buggy. Simplicity dominates Houses in Munich, in turn creating complexity through a harmonious link between subjects and consistency in application. Wide brushstrokes and broad planes of color combine to form this classic Russian abstract work of art. Minimize

Dominant Curve: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil rep ... Read more

Dominant Curve: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Dominant Curve was painted by Russian Abstract Expressionist Wassily Kandinsky in the year 1936. The painting is comprised of oil and was painted on canvas. It measures one hundred twenty-nine and three tenths by one hundred ninety-four and three tenths of a centimeter. Dominant Curve displays a large swooping arc that drops through the visual center of the canvas. It is a bright, rollicking piece that balances two dimensional and three dimensional perspectives. This piece was created with the intention of striking the emotional center of whoever should look at it. Notice Kandinsky’s bold clash of bright yellow and maroon in the middle, as well as the relationship between blue and orange in the lower right region. Further, the opposites of green and red appear next to each other above the orange circle. The circles in the upper right region of the canvas contrast to the rectangle in the left, creating tension between shapes. The end result is a great smattering of seemingly random objects that combine to create a visual manifestation of beauty independent of reason beyond matching aesthetic components. Kandinsky was a master at creating the sensation of action and noise on a canvas without actually having to say anything. His compositions are hailed as some of the most dramatic and innovative combinations of the twentieth century and have stood the test of time as well. Minimize

Arab Town: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reproduc ... Read more

Arab Town: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Wassily Kandinsky of Russia’s avant-garde painted Arab Town in the year 1905. A painting completed in tempera on cardboard, the Arab Town measures about one hundred twenty by one hundred forty-five centimeters. In this piece Kandinsky takes the viewer into the desert, approaching a town from afar. The painting differs somewhat from the artist’s purely abstract approach, as buildings and people take detailed and complete form. At first Arab Town reads much more like a story book than a study of geometric tendencies. However, one can see that the city is still nothing more than Kandinsky’s own construction, a smart pile of rectangles, half circles and straight lines. The only difference here is that they stand together as a congruent unit rather than scattered over a colored plane. The painting is broken into a foreground, a middle ground and a background not altogether unlike a classically arranged piece. The subjects seem to form a line of bodies leading the eye directly into the heart of the painting to a cart sitting outside a building bearing a small domed roof. Remarkable to this piece is Kandinsky’s approach to color and detail as well as his use of application specifically in the brown middle section. Observe the difference in heavy lines from the figure closest to the viewer and lighter ones used to depict the person moving away. Minimize

Improvisation 12: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil r ... Read more

Improvisation 12: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Wassily Kandinsky’s Improvisation 12 was one of many painted by the Russian avant-garde artist in 1910, one year before his great collaboration with the famous exhibition Der Blaue Reiter (“The Blue Rider”). The color red takes the stage in Improvisation 12 as the primary spectacle commanding attention amidst overtones of blue, yellow white and black. Improvisation 12 adheres to Kandinsky’s principle of exaggerating both form and color in a manner conducive to promoting independent interpretation. Though it is clear that Kandinsky was in fact depicting a rider on horseback, the glory of this piece is that ultimately the composition allows the viewer to see the piece as they please. Certain aspects such as a heavy black line and separated areas of unblended color stand out as signature to the artist’s style. The intention in Kandinsky’s approach is to let the color motivate the inspiration of its viewer rather than subject or form. For this reason color is treated in the highest regard and there is much emphasis on each stroke’s place and importance in the overall composition. Kandinsky believe that color is the driving force behind the painting and can lead to feelings of profound inspiration if applied correctly. However, there is no right or wrong way to view this painting. The viewer is allowed to take part in its constant re-creation through their own eyes. Minimize

Study For A Panel: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil ... Read more

Study For A Panel: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Russian Abstract Expressionist and member of the German Bauhaus Wassily Kandinsky painted Study for a Panel around the year 1935. The painting is a vorte of yellow sucking the viewer directly into the heart of the painting. While this center area rests behind other lines and shapes on the canvas, it is this area where the eye gets stuck and cannot escape. The blue ring prevents this from happening. Study for a Panel is a balance of dark, earthy colors and bright hues of electric blue and red, purple and yellow. The philosophy behind this painting is that there is to be no symbolism found in any of the shapes presented. There is no harm, however in interpreting anything found in the painting. The point is that the artist presents the colors to the viewer as a piano player might strike a series of notes to convey emotion. Kandinsky has created a symphony of color for the viewer to take anything they wish from it. Color is thought in Expressionist art to be the most powerful force of communicating emotion and therefore the introduction of form would diminish its sublime qualities and actually reduce quality from the overall composition. Kandinsky’s expressionist masterpiece Study for a Panel aims to make an emotional impact on whatever setting it might be placed in. Minimize

Divided: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reproducti ... Read more

Divided: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Wassily Kandinsky’s 1928 painting Divided is a celebration of the power manifested in the form of bisection. This watercolor and ink piece feels like two paintings on the same canvas due to the gargantuan line running from top to bottom in the composition. On the left a background of green plays host to a vertical rectangle, also divided down the middle into two sections of eight for a total of sixteen boxes. Above, a series of interwoven circles rests in sharp contrast to the domination of straight lines and hard angles at work on both sides. The background of the right side of Divided, for that matter, is covered in red and fades to white as does the green on the left. This side is a celebration of line but also includes a sharp juxtaposition of a curved lines against the unbending triangle that rests below the pentagon near the bottom of the right side. Kandinsky plays to the geometric observer in this piece, transforming his canvas into a visual playground where his audience might delight freely in the shapes depicted. As always with Abstract Expressionism, however, it is important to look for aesthetic qualities before symbolic meaning lest deeper symbolic meaning occur than originally intended. Divided is a testament to Kandinsky’s ever searching artistic vocabulary for expressing himself through geometric sequence and sagacity of color. Minimize

Last Judgement: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil rep ... Read more

Last Judgement: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. The Last Judgment is a painting by the Modern Russian Abstract-Expressionist Wassily Kandinsky. It is a work of oil on canvas. The Last Judgment is a great explosion of color without particular attention to form or shape. Kandinsky’s color philosophy can be witnessed in his ability to depict emotion through various shades of blended primary colors. What is special to this painting is the use of a heavy black line dominating the canvas on top of the color. Kandinsky’s line provides a guiding hand in what would otherwise be called an overwhelming sea of color and emotion. With the aid of the line, he directs movement and energy within the piece while also opening it to further interpretation from his perspective audience. The black lines are there to delight and revel in their rolling curves and twisting regions. Enjoy in The Last Judgment the repetition of horizontal lines and overlapping of certain areas to create a layered effect. It was Kandinsky’s hope that the viewer take away an emotional feeling before a feeling of symbolism or deeper meaning. The deepest meaning one could hope to find in an expressionist piece occurs on the emotional and physical level. A painting’s color can take a viewer to previously unchartered waters of feeling and self-awareness and that was the principle goal of Wassily Kandinsky in The last Judgment. Minimize

Gravitation: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reprod ... Read more

Gravitation: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Russian Abstract Expressionist Wassily Kandinsk’s Gravitation is a piece washed in overtones of dark, mature colors such as brown and maroon. The painting is cut into four quadrants in the middle of the canvas, although none of the lines reach the end of the canvas. Rather, they hang suspended over several circles, creating a sense of abstract order at work here. The composition has the feeling of tension between open and closed objects as well as balance between similar shapes. Kandinsky, as an Abstract artist, is attempting here to prove that color is the best way to indicate mood and feeling in a painting. Kandinsky’s paintings worked around stripped down shapes to covey a feeling of possibility when looking at the world abstractly. Shapes are pure and shapes are powerful, as evident in the solid background looming behind the spread of rich colors. Rather than looking for symbolism in a Kandinsky piece it is important to approach it with the possibility of opening your mind to alternate perspective. This way Kandinsky’s color and line can speak in its own language. Gravitation is a testament to imagination and a rejection of the belief that to be create decent art one must strive to create the commonly perceived view of reality. Kandinsky is remembered for his bravery in branching away and creating his own interpretation of reality. Minimize

The Singer: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reprodu ... Read more

The Singer: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. The Singer was painted in 1903 by Moscow native Wassily Kandinsky. An oil painting, The Singer measures at only nineteen and one half by fourteen and one half centimeters. Though small in size, the artist’s focus on the atmosphere around its subjects indicate a sense of mood that adds to the weight of this piece. The faces of the man at the piano in the background and the woman singer in the forefront who is holding a bouquet of flowers are unmoving and relatively bereft of detail. The artist does not bother to replicate miniscule details but instead focuses on the forms themselves and their interaction with the surrounding space. This effect places the subjects in the heart of the art being created, completely submerged in its color and beauty. This is a habit found in most of Kandinsky’s work. By draping the canvas with overtones of violet contrasted against the white skin and dress of the woman Kandinsky is able to create a striking effect. The manner in which the piano and its player melt into the foreground is indicative of Kandinsky’s appeal towards painting broad surfaces of the same rich color. Also included in this painting is Kandinsky’s signature use of dark lines who act as wrought iron might to a stained glass window or lamp. Kandinsky isolates color in The Singer very precisely to create a delicate balance and aesthetically pleasing masterpiece. Minimize

Picture II, Gnomus: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil ... Read more

Picture II, Gnomus: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Picture II, Gnomus was painted by Russian Abstract Expressionist Wassily Kandinsky in the year 1920. Picture II, Gnomus draws its power from the classic releationship between black and white, the resulting image reading like an abstracted music sheet with colorful sequences stacked to the right. However, it is important to know that there is to be no glory found in searching for symbolism within the shapes and patterns displayed on the canvas. Kandinsky’s black line is nothing more than a black line, and a white sequence is nothing more than a white sequence. The only thing that matters is the size of the geometric patterns and their distance in relation to one another. Notice the way that the green circle sticks out when placed in front of a white background versus a black background. It “pops” off of the page, drawing attention immediately to the colorful stack of objects beneath it. The expansion of the foreground adds to the sensation of being pulled into the painting, and the question of the limit to the black space is called into question as well. The blackness could stretch on for three feet or for infinity. The dimensions are purposely left ambiguous so as to draw a feeling of emotion from the viewer. The effect is a much more powerful display that can span the test of time and setting. Minimize

Autumn in Bavaria: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil ... Read more

Autumn in Bavaria: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Autumn in Bavaria, painted in 1908 by artist Wassily Kandinsky of Russia’s avant-garde, is an oil painting completed on cardboard. This piece shows Kandinsky’s remarkable appreciation and mastery of color. Autumn in Bavaria includes certain geometric constants that appear in most of the artist’s work such as the steeple tower and quadrilateral appearing on the roof of the structure below it. Likewise, there is the line of a wall extending along the left side of the pathway. However, these shapes are depicted merely in blotches of color. Kandinsky omits the heavy line and clean cut background prevalent in many of his works. The eye is led here down the path past the trees that seem to be swirling with color until it reaches the church at the end. Notice the use of layering paint here. Color seems to blend together in the sky at first glance until it becomes apparent to the eye that the color is painting to exist in regions of individual color rather than through a graded method of blending. In turn, this adds to the structure and intrigue surrounding this unique abstract work from one of Russia’s earliest abstract painters. Kandinsky went on to teach at Walter Gropius’s Bauhaus in 1921 and is known for his playful experimentations with color and form as can be seen here in Autumn in Bavaria. Minimize

Harmonie Tranguille: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oi ... Read more

Harmonie Tranguille: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Harmonie Tranguille was painted by Russian Abstract Expressionist Wassily Kandinsky in the year 1924. It is a playful painting, with jubilant colors expressing a warm, ecstatic quality. This painting is light and balanced in terms of geometric consistency. Like many of Kandinsky’s abstract pieces, there is an important relationship between loose and grounded pieces at work. For instance the rectangles at the bottom left appear stacked while above circles float about. Lines intersect one another and reconnect to others, allowing for new shapes and new possibilities to open when looking at it. The intention of Kandinsky in Harmonie Tranguille is to speak primarily through color and line in this piece in the hopes that they will combine to create a new language for his audience to appreciate the simplicity of these patterns and to then begin to see them in every day life. The beauty of an abstract painting is that it provides fodder for independent abstract thought and a hope that by changing the way that individuals look at the world it can be of use to society. While at first the shapes appear to be a giant random mess of clutter, in fact they are very neat and reduced to their essential qualities. This painting is above all else functional in that every line and box is necessary. There is nothing extraneous or ostentatious exerting unnecessary pressure on the composition in Harmonie Tranguille. Minimize

Improvisation 3 Picture with Yellow Wall: Wassily Kandinsky ... Read more

Improvisation 3 Picture with Yellow Wall: Wassily Kandinsky: Hand-painted art oil reproduction on canvas. Improvisation 3 Picture with Yellow Wall is a painting by the Modern Russian Abstract-Expressionist Wassily Kandinsky. It is a work of oil on canvas and was painted in the year 1913. Improvisation 3 Picture with Yellow Wall was created with the intention of placing the focus not just on the color, but on the large geometric shapes dominating the interior of the canvas. Kandinsky uses a complimentary pallet here, balancing pink, yellow and blue. Lines are not as prevalent in this piece, but still exist. Similar to the stained glass effect used in other pieces to separate color, Kandinsky creates individual regions of color in hopes of creating an organized sense of chaos that still manages to flow while not interrupting or bleeding into any other colors. Color blends through layering, as can be seen in the magenta occurring on the left side of the canvas. Improvisation 3 Picture with Yellow Wall is guaranteed to strike a viewer on a positive level due to the choice of bright pigment selected by Kandinsky. The viewer is given a display that they are free to interpret but the hope is that it will effect them on a level close to their personal core. Color, for that matter has the ability to truly effect one’s psyche if it is looked at in a certain way. This is the lasting hope of Wassily Kandinsky. Minimize
