About the Artist

Wassily Kandinsky (1866–1944) was a pioneering abstract artist and one of the founders of modern abstract art. He believed that color and form could express emotion and spirituality without representing the physical world. Closely associated with the Bauhaus movement, Kandinsky’s work explores harmony, rhythm, and the emotional power of shapes and colors.

About the Artwork – 

Kleine Welten I

Kleine Welten I (“Small Worlds I”) is a seminal abstract composition in which Kandinsky combines geometric forms, bold lines, and layered colors to create a dynamic, self-contained visual universe. The work reflects his belief that art functions like music—communicating directly with the viewer’s inner emotions rather than depicting reality. This piece exemplifies Kandinsky’s mature abstract language and his exploration of balance, movement, and inner expression.
