Klänge Pl.04 1913

"Klänge Pl.04" is a 1913 woodcut by Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky. It exemplifies his abstract style, a movement he pioneered in the early 20th century. In the work, Kandinsky uses bold shapes and colors to create a sense of rhythm and movement, expressing a musicality rather than a tangible subject. The colors, including vibrant reds, yellows, and blues, interact dynamically against the off-white background, further emphasizing the abstract composition. This work, along with many others from his career, played a key role in shifting the focus of art from representation to expression.
