Geflecht 1927

Wassily Kandinsky made this painting, Geflecht, with oil on canvas. Look at how he balances the earthy background with these jewel-toned shapes. You can almost feel him feeling his way through the composition, each mark leading to the next. I love how the texture isn't uniform. The dark areas feel dense, almost velvety, while the lighter parts seem thin. There's a real sense of layering; you can see how the colors peek through, creating depth. Take the diamond shape in the center. Notice how it's not just a flat plane but a collection of smaller shapes and lines. It's like a little world in itself. Kandinsky reminds me of other abstract expressionists like Joan Miró, who also juggled playfulness and depth in their work. Both artists embrace ambiguity. They suggest rather than dictate, inviting us to bring our own feelings and ideas to the table.
