The artwork “Encounter,” created by Wassily Kandinsky in 1908 during his time in Germany, is an oil painting on wood that belongs to the Expressionism art movement. This abstract piece measures 365 by 425 centimeters.
The artwork utilizes bold, vibrant colors and abstract forms to convey a sense of emotional intensity and spiritual depth. Dominated by rich hues of yellow, green, purple, and blue, the painting features a composition of indistinct, yet evocative human figures positioned against a seemingly surreal background. The forms and figures are outlined with broad strokes, blending into the surrounding colors, evoking a feeling of movement and interaction among the subjects. The use of colors and abstract shapes is characteristic of Kandinsky’s style during this period, emphasizing emotional expression over realistic representation.
