Small worlds III 1922

This is 'Small Worlds III,' a lithograph by Wassily Kandinsky made with ink on paper. Look at the way he lays down colour. It’s like he's juggling primary hues—red, yellow, and blue—with black, letting them dance across the surface in dots, lines, and geometric shapes. I can imagine Kandinsky bending over the lithographic stone, adding layer upon layer, pulling prints, and tweaking the composition. He creates this world from chaos, finding harmony in the push and pull of colours and forms. It's a party of visual incidents. I love the overall sense of freedom in this image. It reminds me of Joan Miró's playful spirit. I think these artists are in an ongoing conversation, inspiring one another’s creativity. Painting embraces ambiguity, allowing for multiple interpretations over fixed meanings. It offers a way of experiencing the world that celebrates both intention and chance.
