Wassily Kandishy - Bus (23.5 in x 31.5 in)

The artwork features the hallmark characteristics of Kandinsky’s later Bauhaus or Paris years (late 1920s to 1930s), a period where he transitioned from chaotic, expressive abstraction to highly structured, geometric, and biomorphic forms:

• The Background: A solid black background, which Kandinsky often used in this era to make his vibrant primary and secondary colors "pop" and float in a cosmos-like space.

• The Central Form: A large, textured, pale-blue cross or figure-like structure anchors the composition.

• Geometric Accents: The piece is populated with precise, disparate shapes, including:

  • A large bright blue circle with two straight golden lines (resembling antennae) emerging from the top right.

  • Two purple crescent moons pointing left.

  • A brown grid-like rectangle hovering over a red semicircle.

  • Small green triangles (resembling mountain peaks) and a black circle enclosing a green vertical shape.
