Description
This famous work by Kandinsky is a favorite of Kuadros employees and our fans.
It is also our best selling paint. Let's see why.
The literature on Wassily Kandinsky frequently points out the similarities between the Blue Crest and the painter's earlier works, which still retained a large degree of impressions on life.
A church with cupolas, houses with pointed roofs, clouds, rain, a rowing boat and the symbolic representation of a galloping horseman are glimpsed in the composition of the canvas.
The vibrancy of color and movement throughout the piece hint at the representation of objects that are felt but cannot be seen, suggesting a kind of music haunted on the canvas. The intensive ascent of the movement in the form of a spiral along the diagonal is crowned by a blue crest: the crest of a wave crashing into a brilliant space impregnated with light.
The dynamic development of the main color motifs and their brilliantly expressed culmination make The Blue Crest one of Kandinsky's most complex and expressive compositions.
Ultimately this is a majestic work that gives a lot to talk about on the wall of a home or office.
