The artwork titled “Thirty” by Wassily Kandinsky, created in 1937, is an exemplary piece within the Abstract Art movement. This oil painting measures 100 by 81 centimeters and is housed at the Georges Pompidou Center in Paris, France.
The artwork is characterized by a grid-like pattern composed of 30 individual squares, arranged in a 5 by 6 formation, each containing distinct abstract forms rendered in black and white. The squares alternately depict varying geometric and organic shapes, lines, and curves, creating a dynamic rhythm across the canvas. The use of monochrome and the diversity in each square’s design demonstrate Kandinsky’s mastery in abstract composition, engaging the viewer through visual contrast and implied movement.
