Wassily Kandinsky – Composition VIII

Giclee print of “Composition VIII”.  Certificate of Authenticity included.

Composition VIII, produced in 1923 by Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky, is an oil-on-canvas painting created in the Abstract style. The painting consists of a variety of geometric shapes, colours, straight and curved lines set against a background of cream that melds at certain points into areas of pale blue. The use of circles, grids, rectangles, semicircles, triangles and other mathematical forms in the artwork is consistent with the painter’s belief in the mystical properties of geometric shapes while the colours on display are chosen for their emotional impact.
