Description
Wassily Kandinsky, one of the pioneers of abstract art, created in 1901 the work known as "ABRIKOSOV company poster", a piece that reflects the transition of an artist towards the conceptualization of color and the way as expression vehicles beyond The figurative representation. This work, carried out during his stay in Munich, is inserted in a time when the influence of symbolism and color experienced a rapid evolution. The painting, which also worked as a poster, presents a functional design but with a strong aesthetic content.
The composition of the work is articulated in a vertical format, which not only captures the viewer's attention, but also offers a sense of ascending movement. Kandinsky manages to combine abstract elements with typography, creating a balance between the text and the image that is characteristic of the graphic design of his time. The writing that appears on the poster, "company Abrikosov" is located at the top, using a type of font that evokes the modernity and dynamism of trade and industry, while making a visual dialogue with the rest of the part.
As for the use of color, Kandinsky displays a vibrant palette that, although it cannot be considered purely abstract, suggests an impulse towards emotion and spirituality that characterize his future work. The yellow and blue, colors that, in Kandinsky's theory of art, symbolize a deep connection with human emotions stand out. The yellow background shines, providing a contrast to the darkest and rich elements in nuances that appear at the bottom of the work. This use of color is not accidental, since during this stage Kandinsky began to associate certain colors with emotions or philosophical concepts.
The figures present in the poster are reduced to simple and schematized forms, rejecting naturalness in favor of a representation that invites introspection. There are no discernible characters such as those that could be found in their latest works, but there are traces of influences of Russian popular art and Gothic art, which reflects its rich cultural heritage and its desire to integrate different traditions into their work.
The "Abrikosov company poster" is not only significant as the work of art; It also works as a historical document on the impulse of artists to participate in the emerging commercial culture of the early twentieth century. It represents a bridge between applied art and movement towards abstraction, in which Kandinsky would become an undisputed leader. In this way, this painting contains both an innovative approach in the relationship between art and commerce and an indicative of the radical transformation that art was about to experience through the century.
