Product information "Wassily Kandinsky: Picture 'On White II' (1923), framed"
Wassily Kandinsky was appointed to the Bauhaus in 1922. He initially headed the mural painting workshop. Until his departure in 1933, the content of his courses included essential elements of the theory of form, such as analytical drawing, an introduction to the 'abstract elements of form' and seminars on colour. 'On White II', created at the beginning of his Bauhaus period, demonstrates his concept in its purest form. The white background that gives the work its title causes the coloured surfaces and contours to emerge from the picture in an almost object-like manner. A work in perfect balance, with the central black arrows dividing the picture geometrically and at the same time guiding the viewer's eyes through the composition of colours and figures. Original: 1923, oil on canvas, 105 x 98 cm, Musée National d'Art Moderne, Paris. Edition on artist's canvas with linen structure, on wooden stretcher frame. Limited edition of 980 copies with numbered certificate on the reverse. Framed in a black and silver solid wood frame. Format 65.3 x 61.3 cm (H/W).
