Description

The work "Fixed Points" (1942) by Wassily Kandinsky represents one of the culminations of the abstract style that has characterized the trajectory of the Russian artist. In this fabric, Kandinsky displays his mastery in the use of color and shape, creating a visual symphony that transcends the mere figurative representations. Painting is a testimony of its evolution towards purely abstract language, characterized by a composition that evokes the dynamism and tension of human emotions.

Visually, "fixed points" presents a rich palette of vibrant colors that play with each other, glowing with a luminosity that attracts the viewer's gaze. Throughout the work, various geometric shapes can be observed, including circles, lines and triangles, which seem to float in an indefinite space. These elements not only create an atmosphere of movement, but also introduce a controlled chaos sensation, a distinctive characteristic of Kandinsky's work. The color application is immediate and emotional; Vibrant blue and yellow contrast with the darkest tones, generating a visual tension that invites you to explore the pictorial surface.

Unlike some of his previous works, where the presence of figures and landscapes was more obvious, "fixed points" is entered in a more abstract terrain, leaving aside direct references and welcoming a more personal and introspective interpretation. This dichotomy between shape and color reflects its interest in synesthesia, the idea that colors and shapes can evoke sounds and emotions. Thus, every 'point' in "fixed points" can be read as a representation of ideas, feelings or even moods. The disposition of these points seems to challenge the laws of gravity, suggesting a universe in motion, devoid of traditional visual anchors.

Kandinsky, one of the founders of abstract expressionism, uses in this work his conception of art as a vehicle of spirituality and emotion. The artist firmly believed in the art ability to communicate the ineffable, seeking to awaken an emotional response in the viewer. In "fixed points", as in other of its previous compositions, this yearning for transcendence can be perceived through abstraction.

It is interesting to consider that "fixed points" was created at a complicated historical moment, during World War II, which can add a layer of emotional meaning to the study of the work. In this context, its search for a visual and spiritual order could be interpreted as a response to chaos and despair of the outside world, emphasizing the importance of art as a refuge and means of expression in times of adversity.

Kandinsky's work, and in particular "fixed points", continues to influence numerous contemporary artists and artistic movements. His approach to emotional coloration and pure abstraction constantly invites a reflection on the perception and personal experience of art. Through this piece, Kandinsky manages not only to visually represent his concepts, but also to offer viewers a deeper connection with their own emotions and experiences. Ultimately, "fixed points" is a reminder of the power of art to transcend the limitations of time and space, inviting each one to discover their own meaning in the incessant game of points and colors.
