Improvisation 26, Wassili Kandinsky

Improvisación 26, 1912

Kandinsky wasn’t the first abstract painter, but he was the first one trying to deepen in this new way of painting.

"Improvisation 26” is an abstract painting, but with some realistic left-overs. 

We analyze today this painting: I invite you to see our presentation.
