Painting on light ground 1916

This is Wassily Kandinsky’s ‘Painting on light ground’, wherever and whenever it was made! What strikes me first is the way the colors aren't just laid down; they're worked, like the painting is a living thing, constantly being reshaped. Looking closely, you can see how the paint is applied in layers, sometimes thick, sometimes thin, letting the light ground peek through. It's not about hiding the process but embracing it. The colors feel both chaotic and harmonious, like a wild garden where everything just belongs. Take that swirling brown edge on the right, see how it frames the whole composition, but also feels like it's in motion, pushing and pulling against the other forms. It's almost like a dance, or a conversation between colors and shapes. Kandinsky's work reminds me of Joan Miró. Both artists were exploring the space between representation and abstraction, inviting us to see the world in a new way.
