Kreis und Rechteck (Circle and Rectangle) by Wassily Kandinsky, 1932 Size:44x70in (112x178cm) Le Caire (Cairo)Kreis und Rechteck (Circle and Rectangle) (1932) by Wassily Kandinsky arrives from the artists mature abstract period, when geometry, color, and line became the true subjects of the canvas. Painted during his Bauhaus years, this poised yet lyrical composition distills experience into essentials: a commanding circle converses with a measured rectangle, their dialogue set within an atmosphere of warm reds and pinks anchored by deep brown plum notes.
