Abstract
painting, 1923
Wassily Kandisky
Oil on canvas
Whilst research regarding Bauhaus I came across
multiple works of art, one in particular is Kandisky’s above abstract painting.
Research I conducted concerning the
above painting shows that Kandisky made use of black, whites and colour to
outline the importance of shape and the sharp edges. The colour black was
depicted to portray the immobility of death, signifying non-existence. In the painting the black cuts from side to side creating conflict in the peace of art work. Kandisky also made use of the primary colours which are also creating conflict as they are contrasting one another. Though to some extent harmony is also present as the colours and shapes themselves are illuminating and reuniting the composition together.
