More about this artwork

"Klänge Pl.21" by Wassily Kandinsky, created in 1913, is a striking example of Kandinsky’s transition toward complete abstraction. This artwork is characteristic of his style during this period, where he embraced the psychological and emotional properties of color and form to transcend the physical world.In this painting, you can observe a dynamic composition made up of mainly black forms on a light background. The abstract shapes appear almost calligraphic or hieroglyphic, suggesting a kind of visual language that Kandinsky was pioneering. The forms interlock and overlap, creating a sense of depth and movement. There may be some elements that might faintly suggest figures or objects, but they resist literal interpretation, encouraging viewers to respond to the image on an instinctual level.This print is a part of "Klänge" (Sounds), a series where Kandinsky coupled his artwork to his theoretical writings, particularly exploring the relationships between art and music, both forms perceived as pure abstraction. The bold contrast and the fluidity of the forms in this image exemplify how Kandinsky used visual rhythm and composition analogously to musical elements, aiming to evoke sensory experiences and emotional resonances in the viewer. This artwork not only embodies Kandinsky's theories on spirituality in art but also reflects his earnest endeavor to communicate deeper universal human emotions and ideas through abstract forms.

Wassily Wassilyevich Kandinsky was a Russian painter and art theorist. Kandinsky is generally credited as the pioneer of abstract art. Born in Moscow, Kandinsky spent his childhood in Odessa, where he graduated at Grekov Odessa Art school. He enrolled at the University of Moscow, studying law and economics. Successful in his profession—he was offered a professorship (chair of Roman Law) at the University of Dorpat today Tartu, Estonia)—Kandinsky began painting studies (life-drawing, sketching and anatomy) at the age of 30.
