The artwork titled “Composition” was created by Wassily Kandinsky in 1944 in Paris, France. This piece, rendered through the medium of stencil, belongs to the genre of abstract art and is part of the acclaimed “Compositions” series. It is an exemplar of the Abstract Art movement and measures 20.5 x 27 cm. Currently, it is housed at the Georges Pompidou Center in Paris, France.
The artwork features several geometrical elements and non-representational forms. Dominating the upper portion of the piece is a circle filled with vibrant red, encircled by thick black borders and half encased in a green segment. Adjacent to it appears an arc shape in yellow, with a red and green end. The middle section is adorned with abstract figures, including a diamond-like structure in red and purple, elevated above a trio of colored spheres in green, red, and a darker shade, all connected to a larger, fluid shape that incorporates hues of purple, yellow, and green. The background is stark white, emphasizing the vividness and distinctness of each element. The arrangement and choice of colors render a sense of dynamism and abstraction, characteristic of Kandinsky’s later works.
