The artwork, titled “On White II,” was created by Wassily Kandinsky in 1923 in Germany. This abstract piece, executed in oil on canvas, measures 105 by 98 centimeters and belongs to the Abstract Art movement. The artwork is currently housed in the Georges Pompidou Center in Paris, France.
In this composition, Kandinsky employs a dynamic interplay of geometric shapes and bold colors on a predominantly white background. Black diagonals intersect with colorful triangles, circles, and various other forms, creating a sense of movement and chaos. The use of contrasting colors, such as red, yellow, and black against the white backdrop, accentuates the vibrancy and depth of the artwork. The intricate arrangement of shapes and lines evokes a sense of musicality and rhythm, characteristic of Kandinsky’s synesthetic approach to art. The overall effect is a compelling visual exploration of abstraction and the expressive potential of pure form and color.
