The artwork, titled “A Floating Figure” and created by Wassily Kandinsky in 1942, is a notable piece from the Abstract Art movement. This oil on wood painting, which measures 26 x 20 cm, originates from Paris, France, and is currently housed in the Musée Zervos (Maison Romain Rolland) in Vézelay, France. Displaying the genre of abstraction, the artwork exemplifies Kandinsky’s exploration into the non-representational forms of art.
The artwork features a whimsical, abstract figure composed of geometric shapes and vibrant colors set against a muted, flat background. The figure is constructed from various elements including curves, lines, and interlocking segments that create a sense of harmony and balance. Dominated by a palette of pastel blues, pinks, reds, and blacks, the painting juxtaposes sharp angles with soft, undulating lines, embodying the fluidity and dynamism characteristic of Kandinsky’s later works.
