This artwork by Vassili Kandinski, created in 1923, is a piece from the art movement of abstract art. In this work, Kandinsky's transition towards a more precise and controlled geometry is evident, influenced by his time at the Bauhaus. The use of circles, lines, and vibrant colors creates a visual harmony that reflects Kandinsky's theory on the synesthesia and the correspondence between colors and sounds. In "Composition 8", the combination of geometric shapes and pure colors aims to evoke emotions and moods in the viewer, without resorting to figurative representations. This innovative approach challenged the artistic conventions of the time and opened new possibilities for visual expression.
