The artwork, titled “Study for ‘Circles on Black’,” was created by Wassily Kandinsky in 1921 in Moscow, Russian Federation. Executed in watercolor on paper and measuring 25.5 by 25.5 centimeters, this piece exemplifies Abstract Art and belongs to the abstract genre.
In “Study for ‘Circles on Black’,” Kandinsky employs a vivid palette of watercolors to create an intricate composition on a uniformly dark background. The central feature comprises an array of geometric and organic shapes that seemingly float in a dynamic, asymmetrical arrangement. Splashes of bright colors, including blues, yellows, reds, and greens, contrast sharply with the black backdrop. This interplay between form and color manifests a harmonious yet chaotic visual experience, showcasing Kandinsky’s exploration of abstract forms and the emotional power of color. The visual elements converge to evoke a sense of movement and depth, capturing the viewer’s imagination and inviting a contemplation of non-representational art.
