Aquarell für Poul Bjerre 1916

Wassily Kandinsky made this watercolour for Poul Bjerre, and it’s like a visual poem, light and free. The way Kandinsky lets the watercolour flow and blend, it’s all about process, about letting go and seeing what happens. Look at the way the colours create a landscape that feels both familiar and dreamlike. The blues are soft, running into the greens and yellows. It’s not about being precise, but about capturing a feeling, an emotion. Notice that dark blue form to the left, like a mountain or maybe a giant tree. It’s got this soft edge where the blue bleeds into the surrounding wash, and it feels so alive, like it's breathing. Kandinsky wasn’t trying to paint a perfect picture, but was open to exploring the possibilities of paint. That kind of openness reminds me of Joan Miró who also played with abstraction. Art is like a conversation, and there's no single right answer, just different ways of seeing.
