The artwork, titled “White Figure,” was created by Wassily Kandinsky in 1943 in Paris, France. It is an oil painting on cardboard and belongs to the Abstract Art movement. The dimensions of the artwork are 58 x 42 cm. This abstract piece is currently housed in the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City, NY, US.
The artwork presents an abstract composition dominated by a white, sinuous shape that somewhat resembles a figure, set against a deep black background. The central white form is adorned with geometric shapes and patterns in a variety of bright, contrasting colors. Triangles, rectangles, and curved lines intermingle with the white space, creating a dynamic and vibrant visual experience. The interplay of colors, including purples, reds, oranges, and greens, evokes a sense of movement and energy, characteristic of Kandinsky’s abstract style. The structured yet free-flowing arrangement of forms within the piece invites viewers to explore its rhythmic complexity and emotional resonance.
