“Small Worlds IV” by Wassily Kandinsky is a lithography on paper, created in 1922 in Germany. As an exemplar of Abstract Art, this piece, measuring 33.7 x 28.9 centimeters, reflects Kandinsky’s trademark style within this genre.
The artwork epitomizes the abstract movement through its use of geometric shapes, bold lines, and vibrant colors. A variety of forms, including circles, lines, and triangles, intersect and overlap, reminiscent of Kandinsky’s inclination towards dynamic, non-representational compositions. The combination of yellow, green, and purple hues, along with black accents, contributes to the visual complexity and harmonious balance. This aesthetic approach, devoid of recognizable objects, aims to evoke emotion and contemplation, emphasizing the intrinsic value of color and form.
