Hotspur🏳️🌈🇺🇦<p>"Composition IX," Wassily Kandinsky, 1936.</p><p>OK, y'all know Kandinsky by now. This is an interesting piece, colorful but not angry or shrill, and a mixture of angular forms and curves. Apparently he got the inspiration for this piece from looking out his window one morning and seeing some chimneys at a local factory in the morning light, and then watching them start to spew smoke.</p><p>So, it's not really a depiction of industrial chimneys, but an inspiration, with the angles and curves being the interplay of the industrial with the natural.</p><p>Kandinsky can be frustrating, but understanding what's going on here helps a lot, and it's a relatively pleasant piece to look at, a joyful juxtaposition of elements in a way that works.</p><p>From the Centre Pompidou, Paris.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/AbstractArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AbstractArt</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/WassilyKandinsky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WassilyKandinsky</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/IndustryAndNature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndustryAndNature</span></a></p>
