Squares

ID: #7891 | Modern artists | Abstract

Date: 1927
Medium: wood

The painting is an illusory visual game using geometric patterns. The centre of the painting is a checkerboard pattern with seemingly distorted squares creating the illusion of a three-dimensional shape. Around the central pattern, blocks of colour are arranged which, together with the grey background of the chessboard, create an impression of depth and perspective. The overall appearance of the image evokes optical illusion and graphic design.

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).
