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).

The Cuban Wifredo Lam succeeded in creating a perfect synthesis of native traditions and modern stylistic devices in his art. His pictures combine magical, totemic symbols and allusions to Afro-Cuban mythologies with elements of Cubism and Surrealism. Wifredo Lam's artistic interpretation of the letter W develops the typographical symbol as the initial of his first name in a kind of metamorphosis from the ears of a mysterious jungle animal. The ambiguous creature shines out of the deep darkness in an unreal, ghostly light. Photolithograph in six colours, signed by the artist, numbered on the reverse. Limited edition of 5,000 copies. Sheet size approx. 30 x 23.5 cm (H/W). Framed in silver-coloured solid wood framing with bevel cut passe-partout, glazed. Format 45.5 x 36.5 cm (H/W).

The four pictures presented here are high-quality editions on laid paper-like, heavy 250g Gmund Tactile. Framed in a sophisticated, gold-coloured solid wood frame, glazed. Format 38 x 48 cm (H/W) each. ars mundi exclusive editions. 'The Last Voyage of the Temeraire' (1839): This is how the glory of the world passes: HMS Temeraire was a ship armed with 98 cannons that had been deployed at the famous Battle of Trafalgar. Here Turner shows her being towed by a steamship to the scrapping yard in the light of an exploding red sun. Original: 1838/39, oil on canvas, 90.7 x 121.6 cm, National Gallery, London 'Canal Grande' (1835): Venice attracted Turner again and again on his European travels, particularly because of the colours and the intense power of the light. The English painter used pure, unmixed colours and juxtaposed them in a complementary way to create light. This resulted in a series of light-flooded vedutas in which landscape and architecture merge into a vibrant surface. Original: 1835, oil on canvas, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York 'Moonlight over Lake Lucerne' (c. 1841-44): The moon shines delicately over the backdrop of the Rigi, the light reflecting in the surface of the lake flows through the entire painting. A breathtaking masterpiece! Original: c. 1841-44, watercolour and opaque paint, 23 x 30.7 cm, Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester 'Sunset over a Lake' (1840): Turner on the verge of pure painting: the classical subject of the sunset as a diffuse explosion of colours and forms, behind which the depicted world can at best only be guessed at. Original: 1840, oil on canvas, Tate Gallery, London All 4 paintings in the set.
