About Complex Simple

The artwork titled “Complex Simple” by Wassily Kandinsky, painted in 1939 in Paris, France, is an abstract piece rendered in oil on canvas. This work belongs to the Abstract Art movement and measures 100 x 81 cm. It is currently housed in the Georges Pompidou Center in Paris, France.

The artwork embodies a vibrant interplay of colors and forms. It features an assemblage of geometric shapes, lines, and abstract figures, all harmoniously brought together on the canvas. Dominant hues of red, yellow, green, and blue interact dynamically against a balanced background, contributing to its abstract nature. Organic shapes contrast with linear structures, creating a sense of controlled chaos and depicting the essence of abstraction. The combination of curves, lines, and planes reflects Kandinsky’s exploration of form and color, inviting viewers to interpret the non-representational imagery individually.
