About the Artist
Wassily Kandinsky was a pivotal figure in modern art, renowned for pioneering abstract painting as a means to express emotion and intellectual ideas. After his early involvement with Der Blaue Reiter, Kandinsky became an influential teacher at the Bauhaus, where he developed a distinctive approach to geometric abstraction and visual harmony.
This 1925 piece reflects his mature Bauhaus period, when he used precise forms and spatial relationships to evoke musicality and inner experience. Discover more in our Wassily Kandinsky collection and explore additional works in our famous artists wall art.
The Artwork
Created during the height of the Bauhaus movement, this composition embodies the era’s search for a new visual language aligned with modern architecture and design. Rather than depicting recognizable subjects, Kandinsky invites viewers to interpret the interplay of shapes and lines as a reflection of psychological states and abstract thought.
He believed that abstraction could communicate like music, with visual elements acting as notes and rhythms. This artwork stands as a testament to that philosophy, offering a contemplative experience that resonates with the intellectual spirit of the 1920s avant-garde.
Style & Characteristics
The artwork features a luminous yellow accent set against a spacious white background, intersected by bold black lines and softened with touches of purple. The composition is carefully balanced yet asymmetrical, guiding the eye through arcs, diagonals, and small geometric details.
The mood is poised and introspective, with a crisp clarity that typifies Kandinsky’s Bauhaus-era style. Its refined abstract quality makes it a versatile addition to any gallery wall. For similar aesthetics, browse our abstract art prints and Bauhaus posters.
