My gallery consists of eight works by,or in collaboraton with Wassily Kandinsky. Kandinsky's work is widely considered abstract and he is often considered on of the pioneers of modern abstract art. My exhibition attempts to truly define the emotion that Kandinsky portrays in his creations by digging deep into his use of color, line, tone, the uses of various shapes, patterns and textures.
Composition, Wassily Kandinsky, 1922/1922, From the collection of: Virginia Museum of Fine Arts
Kandinksy's use of space in this work creates an almost aesthetically pleasing effect in accordance wit the shapes and neutral background he selected. All of these elements make the piece feel whole.
Sketch 160A, Wassily Kandinsky, 1912, From the collection of: The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
This piece invokes an emotion of panic almost. Kandinsky uses line and texture in accordance with the selected color scheme keeps the viewer almost in a frantic state with its many focal points.
Blau (Blue), Wassily Kandinsky, 1922, From the collection of: The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
The beauty of abstract art is its ability to invoke different emotions within the viewer, or even portray real life objects from a different perspective. This piece almost could be a sailing ship.
Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider), Franz Marc and Wassily Kandinsky, published by R. Piper & Co., 1912, From the collection of: Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
Kandinky's use of contrasting colors along with large splotches of black and green create a very vibrant tone, all of these properties combined contribute to a more uplifting and high energy piece.
Black Spot, Wassily Kandinsky, 1921, From the collection of: Kunsthaus Zürich
The resonating black spot in this piece creates a very eerie mood. Along with the spacing, contrasting colors, and shapes Kandinsky creates a kind of retro-esque emotion to this painting.
Points, Wassily Kandinsky, 1920, From the collection of: Ohara Museum of Art
Kandinsky's use of texture really stands out in this painting. The foreground almost seems cartoony in contrast to the very rustic background, which add life to the "dull" colored background.
Two Women in a Moonlit Landscape, R. Piper & Co., 1909–1911, 1913, From the collection of: Dallas Museum of Art
The contrasting colors Kandinsky uses in this piece adds fullness. This painting was chosen for its calming, yet frantic nature.
Vasily Kandinsky, Etching II, a drypoint, 1913/1914, From the collection of: British Museum
This piece stuck out to me in the Google Art Gallery, as I have yet to see a strictly black and white work by Kandinsky. The lines, shading, and pattern used in this piece add a wholesome feel.
