Kandinsky Compositions

Vasily Kandinsky was among the international vanguard artists who experimented with abstraction in the early years of the twentieth century. His most powerful and ambitious works were the ten monumental canvases he titled Compositions: he painted the first seven in intense succession between 1909 and 1913, and the final three in 1923, 1936, and 1939. Each of these brilliant paintings and their studies explores the sensuous colorism that amateur and specialist alike find find so appealing in his art. (2ème de couv.).
