Wassily Kandinsky was a groundbreaking artist for whom the term ‘abstract expressionist’ was coined, more than a decade prior to the rise of American artists like Jackson Pollock. Inspired by the colors of Fauvism and Impressionism, Kandinsky's goal was to use painting as an emotional language. Painting was a spiritual activity for him, and he practiced abstract art to move beyond physical boundaries. He wanted to mimic music with his paintings. The way music could call to mind images and colors, he wanted to create sound with his shapes and colors. This is clearly expressed in Composition VII, even in the name of the piece. The abstract shapes in many different colors and a swirling pattern create a "noisy" image, and might call to mind an orchestral composition. With its vivid and bright colors, this painting will look great in the bedroom! Frame Description: Gallery Black
