Product information "Wassily Kandinsky: Picture 'Heavy Red' (1924), framed"
Wassily Kandinsky took his first steps towards abstraction around 1908, when splashes of colour appeared in his landscape paintings, directing the eye to isolated individual aspects of what was depicted. Soon nature is only hinted at. A watercolour dated 1910 by Kandinsky (but possibly not created until 1913) is ultimately regarded as his first non-representational work. His works became 'compositions' in which the synaesthete searched for 'colour tones' and formal connections. From then on, Kandinsky attempted to systematically explore the interplay of geometric forms and calculated colour relationships. Heavy Red' dates from this period, when Kandinsky was teaching at the Bauhaus. Original: 1924, oil on cardboard, 48.7 x 33.8, Kunstmuseum Basel. High-quality reproduction in fine art giclée process on cotton canvas, motif surface with canvas texture and sealed with artist's varnish, stretched on stretcher. Limited edition of 499 copies. Framed in solid wood frame. Size 82 x 62 cm (H/W).
