Description
The work "worried" (1917) by Wassily Kandinsky is a piece that encapsulates the essence of anguish and uncertainty of a tumultuous era through its vibrant color palette and its abstract composition. In this work, Kandinsky, one of the pioneers of abstract art, manages to transmit a deep emotional load through the interaction of shapes and colors, central elements in their aesthetic search.
Visually, the paint has an organized chaos; The forms flow and are found in a way that seems to reflect an internal contest. The dark tones that predominate in the background, which suggest a state of restlessness and anxiety, accentuated by the presence of brands and strokes that seem to arise from depth. The forms, although abstract, seem to evoke human silhouettes and elements of nature, suggesting that external chaos can somehow be connected with an inner conflict. This dialogue between the abstract and the figurative is one of Kandinsky's distinctive characteristics, who often explored the relationship between art and spirituality.
The use of color in "worried" is essential for the visual experience of the work. Kandinsky was a color theorist who understood his ability to evoke emotions and communication. In this painting, the combination of dark tones with brighter accents creates an emphasis on the internal struggle that is represented. The contrasts of lights and shadows between the different forms invite the viewer to immerse themselves in the emotional tumult that resonates at work. Intense color areas arise as manifestations of emotional energy, even when the general composition seems unleashed.
Kandinsky, born in Russia in 1866, was an influential artist who lived in various European cities and was exposed to a variety of artistic movements. His interest in synesthesia, the idea that the senses can intertwine and cause cross reactions in the viewer, is reflected in their belief that colors and shapes can communicate feelings and concepts. His stage in Germany, particularly with the Der Blaue Reiter group, influenced his practice, and "worried" can be seen as a product of the emotional climax of his career, at a time when Europe faced the First World War.
This work is aligned with other Kandinsky works that also reflect on anguish and restlessness. "Composition VIII" and "Improvisation 31 (Black Sea)" evoke a similar intensity, but in "worried" there is a more personal sense of crisis, an invitation to share the restlessness that the artist felt at the turbulent changes of his surroundings.
In conclusion, "worried" is more than a visual representation of the conflict; It is a testimony of Kandinsky's ability to translate emotionality into a plastic experience. Its diminishing simplicity, together with a deep symbolic load and a masterful use of color, turns this work into a mile Contemporaneity Through each stroke and every nuance, Kandinsky invites us to confront our own concerns, wrapping the viewer in an artistic experience that transcends time and space.
