Description
The work "Movement I - 1935" by Wassily Kandinsky is a brilliant manifestation of the abstract period of this master Russian, who is considered one of the pioneers of abstraction in painting. This work is at a crucial moment of Kandinsky's career, during his period in Germany, where his exploration of color and form culminated in compositions that go beyond traditional figurative representation, seeking to express the spiritual essence of music and nature through painting.
In "Movement I", Kandinsky plays with a rich palette of vibrant colors that range from intense blue and red to a bright yellow. The interaction between these colors is not arbitrary; Each tone seems to resonate with others, evoking sensations and emotions, a principle that Kandinsky fervently defended as fundamental for visual art. The verticality and horizontality of the lines and shapes seem to dialogue within a dynamic pictorial space, suggesting a sense of movement that gives title to the work. This notion of movement is not only limited to forms, but it transcends a visual experience that invites the viewer to interpret and feel the paint almost kinesthetic.
The composition is a remarkable example of its exploration of the visual rhythm. Kandinsky uses free geometric shapes that do not respond to a narrative logic but unfold in a balance and asymmetry game. This structure resembles a musical score, where notes and silences are organized in a sequence that causes a vibrant visual interaction. The circles and triangles present can be interpreted as symbols of energy and movement, evoking the idea of transformation and change, recurring themes in their work.
It is relevant to point out that Kandinsky became deeply interested in color theory, and this becomes evident in how he uses colors to evoke emotions. Cold blue can transmit calm and reflection, while reds can generate tension and vitality. This capacity for communion between color and emotion is a distinctive feature of Kandinsky's work, who believed that colors could be carried out in a language that transcends the shape and figure.
In terms of influence, "Movement I" is connected to the contemporary artistic movements of his time, such as expressionism and constructivism, although Kandinsky turned away from his most radical approach by opting for greater formal freedom. His work also anticipates future developments of abstract art of the twentieth century, making him a key figure not only in his time, but also for later generations of artists. However, throughout his career, Kandinsky maintained the idea of art as a means of human experience, beyond the mere representation of reality.
paintings Similar Kandinsky, such as those of his "composition" series, reflect a visual and thematic development in the direction of pure abstraction, but "movement I" captures a particular essence of his search to express the intangible. This work encapsulates the magic of Kandinsky's art, where color, shape and movement become musical notes within a vast and vibrant visual landscape, giving to those who contemplate an experience that invites reflection and emotional connection. His legacy lasts as a testimony of the transforming power of art, and "Movement I" is erected as a fundamental piece in his journey towards the creation of a new visual grammar.
