Quadrat im Nebel 1932

Wassily Kandinsky created 'Quadrat im Nebel' with watercolor, conjuring up a world of soft pinks and gentle geometry. It’s like watching shapes emerge from a mist, isn’t it? I imagine Kandinsky, brush in hand, coaxing these forms into being, each layer of watercolor a breath of color. The square in the center anchors the composition, while the circles and rectangles float around it, creating a sense of depth and movement. The edges blur, inviting the viewer to step into this hazy realm. Thinking about other painters, I wonder if he looked at Malevich’s squares. Did he see them as a challenge or an invitation to push abstraction further, to see how far he could go into the non-objective? Ultimately, painting is about intuition and exploration, where artists from different eras inspire each other. There’s always a back-and-forth, a conversation that unfolds across time. Kandinsky leaves us with a sense of openness, embracing the unknown, and finding beauty in the simplest of forms.
