= Wassily Kandinsky = ==== **//W//** assily Kandinsky was born on December 4th 1866 in Russia. Since he was born he lived in the town of Moscow. There, he grew up with his parents who supported him in his talent with music and art. But since his parents wanted him to study something else he decided to attend the Moscow University to study Law. After his study in law he began to get back into art because he was inspired by many impressionist artists. Kandinsky had such talent because when he would see color he could also see the sounds that the colors made depending on the brightness or darkness of the color. As a young artist he began drawing landscapes in this home town in Russia, but later as as he grew as an artist and saw many different artists work he was inspired and began creating his own kind of art work. ====

**__"Yellow-Red-Blue"__**
 " **Of all the arts, abstract painting is the most difficult. It demands that you know how to draw well, that you have a heightened sensitivity for composition and for colors, and that you be a true poet. This last is essential." -Kandinsky** 

"Yellow-Red-Blue" was made in 1925, oil on canvas. This has to be one of Wassily's highly popular painting made at the time and till this day it can be easy recognizable to many people. The current location of his painting is located in [|Musée National d'Art Moderne, Centre Georges Pompidou], Paris, France. The painting about deals with different types of geometric shapes, circles, lines and creative shapes. This is one of many of his abstract pieces composed of different shapes and shapes that came from Kandinsky's imagination. A variety of oil pastels consist of this beautiful art piece, he uses colors that are very pleasing to look at and are shown in a even way. There isn't much of a plastic value to this piece, but it is mostly a flat piece with different levels of texture in the piece that give it volume and depth to it. For example on the right side of the art piece you can see that he used different tones of the same color to create different depths to that section. During the time that he developed this art piece, he was a teacher at Bauhaus School of Art and Architecture. This really helped him with the inspiration of the piece, using elements. He uses lines, circles and other geometric shapes to bring a balance to the piece.

The way that Kandinsky balanced this piece was by not centering many objects, but instead having two main focal points such as the face-like figure on the left side and the other face-like on the right side. What makes this art piece stand out is the fact that the main colors used are primary colors (yellow, red, blue). He proportioned this art piece well because when one looks it it, its not overwhelming because there is just enough going on on the piece. The way the lines and shaped are placed give the piece a meaning/feeling of harmony. His organization of this piece is obvious because on the left side of the painting Kandinsky uses lines to create the face-like figure and on the right side of the piece there are more organic shapes. I believe that the meaning of this piece is that the two main figures are fighting for attention because they are both the main focus. Also the face-like figure on the left side seems to be drifting away from the other figure as if it was mad or scared. Overall I think this is such an interesting art piece, because every time I see it I get a sense of balance and interest in all of the figures shown. Kandinsky brought a lot to the art world and created the meaning of abstract art. His art has influenced many that have come after him and he has also inspired me with his imagination with simple shapes and organic figures. Here is a video of [|Wassily Kandinsky painting].
