About White oval

The artwork entitled “White Oval” is an oil on canvas painting created by Wassily Kandinsky in 1919 in Moscow, Russian Federation. This work, which belongs to the Abstract Art movement, measures 80 by 93 centimeters and is categorized as abstract in genre. It is housed in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia.

The artwork is characterized by a vibrant and dynamic interplay of colors and shapes, presenting a rich tapestry of abstract forms. Bold, sweeping lines converge and intersect against the canvas, creating a sense of motion and energy. The palette includes a broad spectrum of hues, from striking reds and blues to softer yellows and greens, all set against a pale background. The composition is dominated by an oval shape centrally placed, within which these abstract elements are confined, creating a harmonious yet complex visual experience that is characteristic of Kandinsky’s oeuvre.
