Description from the seller

Wassily Kandinsky: “Circles in a Circle, 1923".

Signed and dated in the plate.

Authorized color offset lithograph, produced premium matte (non-reflective) with high color intensity.

Condition: the work is in excellent condition.
Format: 40 x 40 cm.

Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944) was a pioneering Russian painter and art theorist, often recognized as one of the founders of abstract art at the beginning of the 20th century. Born in Moscow, Kandinsky spent his early career as a professor of law before moving to Munich to take painting lessons. Here he began to develop his theories about art, especially on the use of color and form, which he believed could evoke spiritual values and emotional responses.

Throughout his career Kandinsky's artistic style underwent significant changes. Initially influenced by Impressionism, his work soon evolved into a more abstract style when he founded the Blue Rider group with like-minded artists in Munich. The outbreak of World War I forced him to return to Russia, where he was briefly involved with Constructivism, before moving to Germany to teach at the Bauhaus school from 1922 to 1933, when the Nazis closed it. He then moved to France, where he remained until his death.

“Circles in a Circle,” made in 1923, is one of Kandinsky's most famous works and illustrates his mature period during his time at the Bauhaus. The painting shows several colored circles within a large black circle, intersected by diagonal lines. Kandinsky uses a diverse palette to create contrasts and harmony, exploring the balance and tension between the elements. The painting is a visual representation of his theories about the psychological effects of color and form, and it shows his belief that art could express visually musical compositions.
The original painting is in the collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Kandinsky's paintings are highly valued on the art market, with his works regularly achieving high prices at auctions. “Circles in a Circle” reflects his revolutionary approach to painting, which has had a profound influence on the development of abstract art. His works are housed in major museums around the world, and his influence on later generations of artists is immense.

Wassily Kandinsky's legacy as a pioneer of abstract painting and his contributions to art theory remain influential. His exploration of color and form opened new ways to express emotional and spiritual dimensions, making his work an essential part of the evolution of modern art.
