Moscow I 1916

Wassily Kandinsky made "Moscow I" using oil paints on canvas, we don't know when but it's at the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow. Look how the colors crash into each other! Kandinsky wasn't just painting a place, he was trying to capture a feeling. There's this wild mix of thick and thin paint, like he couldn’t decide what to keep hidden and what to show off. See that swirling orange shape near the center? It's like a sun, but also like an explosion! The paint there is so alive. Kandinsky, like his pal Mondrian, was deeply influenced by music and theosophy, believing art could express pure spirituality. Think about artists like Hilma af Klint, too – all searching for ways to visualize the invisible. His approach reminds me of my own painting, where the process is as important as the final image, embracing accidents and trusting intuition. Art is always a conversation, right?
