Watercolour with Seven Strokes 1916

Wassily Kandinsky made "Watercolour with Seven Strokes" with watercolour, presumably on paper, and, well, it’s just so alive! There’s a kind of freedom here, you know? The way he lets the colours bleed and mingle. It’s like he’s not trying to control anything, more like he's letting the painting happen. And those seven strokes? They slash across the image like rebellious thoughts, right? The surface has this gentle give, thanks to the watercolour. The colours are transparent, layered, creating depth without weight. Check out that spot of blue in the lower left. It pulls your eye in, doesn’t it? It’s like a little portal to somewhere else. Kandinsky reminds me of Joan Miró, with that same playfulness and willingness to just let things flow. And that's the beauty of art, isn't it? It's not about answers; it's about the conversation.
