Wassily Kandinsky

Composition VIII

US$ 531.00

Circles, arcs, grids and hard diagonals float across a pale ground, arranged with the deliberateness of a score. Kandinsky considered it the high point of his post-war work. Its clean geometry and generous white space make it one of the most genuinely contemporary-looking pictures of the 1920s.

Artist

Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944) trained as a lawyer and did not paint seriously until his thirties, then went on to write the founding text of abstract art, Concerning the Spiritual in Art. He taught at the Bauhaus through the 1920s, and this canvas belongs to that period — geometry replacing the swirling looseness of his earlier work. He held that colours and shapes produce effects on the soul in the same way musical notes do.
