Description
The work "Various Circles" (1926) by Wassily Kandinsky is a fascinating example of the abstract approach that this artist developed throughout his career, carrying the pictorial language towards new forms of expression. In this painting, the author explores the purity of color and shape, using the circle as a recurring and symbolic element that crosses his work. The composition is organized around numerous circles of different sizes and colors, which suggests an active and vibrant visual dynamic.
The circles, which are the soul of the work, evoke sensations of movement and depth, while their disposition does not follow a rigid pattern, but seems to flow organically through the canvas. This freedom in the placement of the elements contrasts significantly with the geometric precision that an initial look could suggest. Each circle seems to emit its own energy and resonance, something that Kandinsky considered fundamental in artistic creation: the idea that painting can transmit emotions without the need to appear objects of the tangible world.
The use of color in "several circles" is another prominent aspect. Kandinsky, who studied color theory and its relationship with emotions, uses vibrant tones that interact with each other. You can see pairs of complementary and contrasting colors that generate visual tensions, which can cause emotional reactions in the viewer. The combination of warm and cold colors allows circles not only to act as isolated forms, but as part of a whole. This interaction reinforces the concept of synesthesia that Kandinsky promoted: that colors and shapes could influence auditory and emotional perception.
Although the work does not present characters in a literal sense, the presence of these circles can be interpreted as abstract figures that represent the connection between music and painting, two of Kandinsky's passions. Often, the artist talked about how music exerted a deep influence on his work, and "several circles" can feel that visual harmony that reminds of a musical composition, where each element has its own place and contributes to the entire the work.
Kandinsky was one of the pioneers of abstraction in modern art, and his evolutionary style from influences of Fauvism and expressionism towards purest abstraction is clearly manifested in this work. In this sense, "several circles" represents a milestone in its trajectory, where each stroke and each form become a statement of their vision about life and art. Kandinsky was looking for a spiritual communion with the spectator, and in this painting he achieves precisely that through the game of shapes and colors.
When they are in the context of modernity, "several circles" reflects the search for new artistic representations that break with tradition and explore the potential of art as a means of emotional and spiritual communication. This work is not only a testimony of Kandinsky's genius, but also an invitation to spectators to immerse themselves in a world where pure visual expression can, in itself, be a form of dialogue between the daily life and the most essential abstraction.
