Picture with a circle 1911

Wassily Kandinsky made this painting, Picture with a Circle, using oil on canvas. Kandinsky’s painting is all about feeling, and you can see it in the way he layers the paint. It’s like he’s building up emotions right on the canvas. The colors swirl and blend. Look at the way he uses blues and yellows, they’re not just colors. They’re moods. Notice the dark circle floating near the top. It’s not really a circle, but it’s the start of one. It’s like the painting is still becoming, still figuring itself out. That’s what’s so cool about Kandinsky. He lets you see the process, the thinking, the making. It feels very connected to Joan Miró's free-form abstract playfulness. With Kandinsky, nothing is ever really finished. And that's what makes it alive.
