Circle In A Circle By Wassily Kandinsky

This picture was painted by Wassily Kandinsky in 1923. Wassily Kandinsky (December 16 1866 - December 13 1944) was a Russian painter and art theorist. Kandinsky is generally known as the pioneer of abstract art. Born in Moscow he then spent his childhood in Odessa (now known as Ukraine). He went to the University of Moscow, where he studied law and economics. He graduated at Grekov Odessa Art School. Kandinsky began painting studies (life-drawing, sketching and anatomy) at the age of 30.

In 1996 Kandinsky moved to Munich, studying at Anton Azbe’s private school, and then at the Academy of Fine Arts.

New Objectivity

The New Objectivity movement started in Germany in the aftermath of World War One. It challenged its predecessor, Expressionism, which was a more idealistic and romantic movement. Artists returned to a more realistic way of painting, reflecting the harsh reality of war. Artists included Otto Dix and George Grosz.

Dada Movement

The Dada movement in Weimar Germany. The Dada movement was an artistic movement that originated in Zurich during the First World War. Dada was deep-rooted in protest about the war. Dadaist artists emerged in many countries, particularly in Germany, Central Europe and in North America.

The Blue Rider

Wassily Kandinsky, Franz Marc, August Macke, Alexej von Jawlensky, Marianne von Werefkin, Gabriele Münter, Lyonel Feininger, Albert Bloch

These are all artists that formed a group. The name of the movement comes from a painting that Kandinsky created in 1903.

The Blue Rider

It is unclear whether it comes from the name of the movement, as Professor Klaus Lankheit learned that the title of the painting had been overwritten. Kandinsky said 20 years later that the name comes from Marc’s enthusiasm towards horses and Kandinsky’s love for riders, combined with both their love for the colour blue. For Kandinsky blue is a color of spirituality, (the darker blue, the more it awakens human desire for eternal).
