Product information "Wassily Kandinsky: Picture 'Yellow - Red - Blue' (1925), framed"
In 1922, Kandinsky accepted Walter Gropius' offer to teach at the Bauhaus. He combined teaching with intensive theoretical work and in 1926 followed up his famous book 'On the Spiritual in Art' (1911) with 'Point and Line to Surface', the 9th volume of the Bauhaus writings. In it, he explains the foundations of his painting on more than 200 pages and sets out his logic of colours and forms, in which, for example, blue is assigned to the circle, yellow to the acute-angled triangle and red to the square. Kandinsky's synaesthetic system goes far beyond these simple basic forms and includes linear forms, even associated sounds and smells in his finely ramified art and contemporary historical argumentation. The work offered here, dating from 1925, is an almost exemplary illustration of his ideas on the harmony of colour and form. Original: 1925, oil on canvas, 128 x 201.5 cm (H/W).
