Description
The work "horses" by Wassily Kandinsky, painted in 1909, represents a turning point in the evolution of the author's artistic language and in the history of abstract art. Through this painting, Kandinsky unleashes his exploration of shapes and colors, suggesting a deep connection between natural life and emotional expression. In it, the representation of horses is transformed into a visual experience loaded with dynamism and energy, distinctive characteristics of their style.
The composition of "horses" unfolds before the viewer with a fluidity that remembers the rhythmic applications of colors. Horses, represented not literally, but as expressions of movement and vitality, dominate the scene with dynamic stylized postures and forms. The lines that could delineate their bodies are sinuous and vibrant, suggesting the imminence of the movement, which constitutes a reflection of animal life, but also a representation of the vital spirit that Kandinsky sought to manifest in his work. This deep connection with nature is emblematic of the artist's interest in transforming the observable into an emotional and spiritual experience.
The use of color in "horses" is essential to understand the essence of the work. Kandinsky, known for his color theory, uses a vibrant palette that establishes an almost musical relationship between tones. The horses appear in tones of brown and black, contrasted with a background of warm red and yellow nuances, creating an intense and energy atmosphere. The interaction of these colors is not accidental; Each evokes sensations and emotions, allowing the spectator to experience art not only for the view, but also through feeling. The choice of warm colors evokes passion and movement, while the dark horses anchor the composition in a tangible reality, balancing abstraction with a physical anchor.
In addition, it is relevant to observe the environment in which the equine figures are located. Although the background does not occupy a leading role, its almost abstract treatment and the organic combination of shapes allow the viewer to enter a universe where the border between the real and the imaginary is diluted. This dialogue between the background and the figure is a recurring characteristic in Kandinsky's work, which invites a freer and more subjective interpretation.
While "horses" may not be as well known as other works of his period, his importance lies in his reflexes of the changes that Kandinsky experienced in his search for abstraction and emotional expression. The work can be seen as a transition to the most explicit exploration of color and the form that would be manifested in its future works, where abstraction definitely becomes the language of modern art.
In conclusion, "horses" of 1909 exemplifies the mastery of Wassily Kandinsky in the fusion of reality and abstraction, offering a space where movement, color and emotion are intertwined. The work remains a testimony of its commitment to art as a means of expression and connection with the spiritual, and is a clear precursor of the innovations that would define the art of the twentieth century. Through this painting, Kandinsky not only captures the essence of the horse, but also displays a sensory experience that resonates in the viewer, inviting him to explore the dynamism of art beyond mere visual representation.
