Design for the color woodcut ‘Archer’ 1910

This 1910 design by Wassily Kandinsky for the woodcut "Archer" exemplifies the artist's exploration of abstract art, a style he was instrumental in developing. This design features bold geometric shapes, vibrant colors, and an expressive application of watercolor that conveys movement and energy. Kandinsky's use of colors and forms in this design foreshadows his later, fully abstract paintings, where he aimed to evoke emotions and spiritual experiences through pure visual language.
