Composition VIII

Wassily Kandinsky's 'Composition VIII' (1923), painted in Weimar during his Bauhaus years, arranges circles, triangles, grids, and free-flowing lines into a dynamic geometric abstraction. Marking Kandinsky's decisive turn from the emotionally charged pre-war 'Compositions' toward a cooler, constructive Bauhaus language, it was bought directly from the artist by Solomon R. Guggenheim in 1929 and is a founding work of the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Related preparatory studies are held at the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
