About Green composition

“Green Composition” is an artwork created by Wassily Kandinsky in 1923, during his time in Germany. The piece is part of the abstract art movement and falls within the abstract genre. It is also a member of Kandinsky’s renowned “Compositions” series. The artwork exemplifies Kandinsky’s exploration of non-representational forms and his belief in the spiritual nature of art, highlighted by the vibrant use of color and geometric shapes.

The artwork features a dynamic arrangement of geometric and organic forms against a base of predominantly green hues. Sharp lines, circles, and semi-circles intersect and overlap, creating a sense of depth and complexity. The artwork is characterized by an energetic composition, with various elements such as diagonal lines, checkerboard patterns, and gradients of color coming together to evoke both order and chaos. The juxtaposition of black, white, and colored segments emphasizes Kandinsky’s abstract approach, seeking to convey emotions and spirituality rather than depict a recognizable subject.
