The artwork, titled “Accent on rose,” was created by Wassily Kandinsky in 1926 and is situated within the abstract art movement, specifically of the abstract genre. This notable piece was produced in Alten / Dessau-alten, Germany, and is currently housed at the Musée National d’Art Moderne in Paris, France.
“Accent on rose” exemplifies Kandinsky’s commitment to abstraction, employing geometric shapes and a vivid color palette to evoke emotional and psychological responses. The composition is dominated by a central diamond-shaped structure filled with concentric circles and squares of varying sizes and colors. The outer background contrasts deeply with the inner geometric forms, which are saturated with vibrant reds, pinks, blacks, and other hues. The overall effect is a dynamic interplay of shapes and colors, characteristic of Kandinsky’s pioneering approach to non-representational art.
