Composition VIII by Wassily Kandinsky

Composition VIII (1923)

Wassily Kandinsky | Abstract Art | Oil on canvas

Circles, triangles, and lines dance together in this colorful painting! Kandinsky believed shapes and colors could make music for your eyes!

Did you know? Kandinsky learned piano and cello as a boy, and he named his paintings like music. He called his most spontaneous ones 'Improvisations' and his biggest, most worked-out ones 'Compositions'. He painted this one while he was a teacher at the famous Bauhaus art school in Germany!
