About the Artwork

Wassily Kandinsky, often regarded as the father of abstract art, created Deutliche Verbindung during a pivotal time in his career. In 1925, he had fully embraced abstraction, distancing himself from representational art to explore the emotional resonance of color and form. This artwork reflects his experimental approach, where he integrated geometric shapes and a rich color palette to express complex ideas. Kandinsky's works were influenced by his interest in spirituality and music, believing that color could evoke feelings similar to musical compositions. Deutliche Verbindung stands as a testament to his quest for a universal language in art, one that transcends cultural barriers and speaks to the soul.
