More about this artwork
The painting displays a dynamic composition of abstract forms and fluid lines across a backdrop of earthy browns, punctuated by splashes of vibrant reds and softer blues. Swirling black lines suggest movement, while scattered, sketch-like shapes appear to hint at figurative elements likened to houses or perhaps foliage. Bold spots of color, including deep blues and reds, draw the eye amidst the more muted tones.

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.
