The artwork titled “Red Sun and Ship” was created by Wassily Kandinsky in 1925. Executed in oil on canvas, this piece belongs to the Expressionism and Abstract Expressionism art movements and falls under the abstract genre. It is part of Kandinsky’s renowned “Compositions” series.
In “Red Sun and Ship,” Kandinsky explores abstract forms and vivid colors. The focal point of the artwork is a striking red sun, which emerges prominently against a dark, almost cosmic background. Below the sun, a complex arrangement of geometric forms symbolizes a ship. These forms are rendered in red and purple hues, creating a delicate balance and contrast with the darker surrounding colors. The interaction between the strong color palette and the abstract shapes showcases Kandinsky’s mastery in conveying emotion and meaning through non-representational art. The artwork exemplifies his innovative approach and contribution to abstract art.
