Wassily Kandinsky

A forerunner in the development of contemporary abstract painting, Vassily Kandinsky was one of the first 20th-century artists to break away from figurative painting, drawing on a wide range of inspirations, from Impressionism and Post-Impressionism to Fauvism and Russian Constructivism, to create abstract works that completely disregard the representation of the visible.

Discover the most emblematic paintings by the leader of abstract art, with "Composition VIII", considered a major work of art from his post-war period, "Cercles Concentriques" and "Jaune Rouge Bleu", where color becomes the main actor in the feeling of the work, or the abstract watercolor "Sans Titre", one of the first paintings by the Franco-Russian artist in a totally abstract pictorial form.

Concentric Shapes by Sydney Z.

Kandinsky

Third graders learned about Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944), a Russian born artist who made his name working in an art style called Expressionism. Kandinsky was very much inspired by music. His paintings often reflected the sounds and repetitive rhythms of a musical composition. He also felt that color could express emotion and tell a story, even though the composition was pure abstract art. In Kandinsky's "Squares with Concentric Circles," he experimented by combining shapes with different colors simply to see which ones felt right to him.

To begin our project, third graders had a lesson on how to use a ruler. We divided our papers into six squares, measuring and ruling out the lines of our squares. In each square we drew a simple shape. Some students drew all circles, just like Kandinsky. In Sydney's example above, there is a different shape for each box. We then painted in each shape and added rings of color around each shape.

Here are other examples of our third grade abstract paintings. To see all of our work, fol
