Sky Blue

ID: #8003 | TOP 200 | Modern artists | Abstract

Date: 1940
Medium: oil on canvas

The graphically austere image creation in his paintings gave way to baroque plenitude motifs that looked as if they had already lost any connection with the structure which had been underlying the surface for a long time being known to no one else but the artist, and it was only due to a creative act that it became visible to others… Weird figures emerged which you long to call creatures. The artist did not do anything to mitigate the fanciful and grotesque effect. Just the other way, the more absurd figures in the paintings, the more obvious is his determination to elaborate them to the very finest detail; the more sophisticated the shapes, the brighter the colors. Figures that had never been seen before but are still somehow familiar appear in two different configurations: it is either a composition closed in itself, or a disorderly heap of most discrepant shapes, scattered all over the canvas. The implementation is however so clear that there can be no incidental feature: a combination of precision and imagination!”

Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944). Russian painter and art theorist. One of the most famous painters of the 20th century. He gained fame through his abstract paintings. After the First World War, he moved to Germany, where he worked until 1933, when he fled the Nazis to France. He lived in France until his death. Kandinsky worked a long way to get to his abstract painting technique (he was fascinated by symbolism and the psychology of colour). Kandinsky’s most famous works belong to the Bauhaus movement - an artistic movement of the 20s and 30s. It is characterized by sharp, geometric shapes (circles, wedges, triangles, etc.), clear colours and thoughtful treatment of surfaces. Perhaps the most famous work of this era is Yellow - red - blue (1925).
