Fine art print by Kandinski, Kleine Welten III
, or Small Worlds III, is a color lithograph created by Wassily Kandinsky in 1922. The work is part of a portfolio of twelve prints, with four prints each in etching, woodcut, and lithography. Kandinsky created the series while he was a teacher at the Bauhaus, a German art school. The prints were intended to showcase the different effects and characteristics of each printmaking technique. This specific piece, Kleine Welten III, is a lithograph, a technique that Kandinsky considered the most "democratic" and "painterly" due to its rich colors and ability to be reproduced many times.
The artwork features a central white oval shape on a black background, containing a variety of abstract forms, lines, and colors. Kandinsky believed that each print in the series represented a self-contained, cosmic entity, or "world" |
