Wassily Kandinsky. Composition VIII.
1923. Oil on canvas, 140 x 201 cm. The Solomon R. Guggebheim Museum, New York, USA.
|
Wassily Kandinsky was one of the most original and influential artists of the twentieth-century. His "inner necessity" to
express his emotional perceptions led to the development of an abstract style of painting that was based on the non-representational properties of color and form.
Kandinsky's compositions were the culmination of his efforts to create a "pure painting" that would provide the same emotional power as a musical composition.
Kandinsky viewed the compositions as major statements of his artistic ideas. They share several characteristics that express this monumentality:
the impressively large format, the conscious, deliberate planning of the composition, and the transcendence of representation by increasingly abstract imagery.
