“Compensation rose,” a 1933 work by Wassily Kandinsky created in Paris, France, is an oil, canvas, and tempera piece housed in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Nantes in Nantes, France. This artwork, measuring 96 x 106 cm, epitomizes the Abstract Art movement and is characterized by its abstract genre.
The artwork exhibits a vibrant mosaic of geometric shapes and patterns, meticulously arranged to produce a complex yet harmonious composition. Rectangles, triangles, and linear forms of varying sizes and orientations are juxtaposed against a backdrop of warm and cool hues, including shades of brown, pink, red, and yellow. These individual elements collectively form an intricate patchwork, inviting viewers to explore the interplay of color, shape, and texture that typifies Kandinsky’s abstract artistic vision.
