About the Artist and Work
Kandinsky was a pioneer of abstract art, believing that forms and lines could express profound spiritual ideas, much like music. He systematically explored the inherent qualities of each printmaking medium in the Small Worlds series. The use of drypoint in this specific piece contributes to its dynamic composition of abstract shapes and lines. |
