Watermelon 1939

"Watermelon" is a 1939 woodcut by the Russian abstract artist Wassily Kandinsky. The artwork features a red curved shape that dominates the canvas, and is reminiscent of a watermelon, a key element in Kandinsky’s artistic vocabulary. Kandinsky's work, known for its vibrant colors, abstract forms, and experimentation with non-representational art, explored the relationship between color and form, creating a dynamic composition.
