Blau in Rund und Spitz 1933

Wassily Kandinsky made ‘Blau in Rund und Spitz’ with watercolour, ink, and pencil, and it’s like a visual playground of shapes and lines. The colours are soft, almost like they’re breathing, and the lines zip around, creating this sense of movement, but also this feeling of calm consideration. Look at the way Kandinsky lets the watercolour bleed and flow. It's not about precision but more about a feeling, an emotion that’s being translated onto paper. I love how the textures play off each other, the smooth washes against the scratchy lines, the sharp corners against the soft curves. There's a little pink trapezoid sitting over on the left that is really appealing, for some reason. It all sort of reminds me of the way Paul Klee used color and form to create a musical composition. Ultimately, 'Blau in Rund und Spitz' is a reminder that art is a conversation, an ongoing dialogue between artists, ideas, and materials, and that the best art leaves room for interpretation, for the viewer to bring their own experiences and emotions to the table.
