Graphic Design: Kandinsky


I think the reason I started loving Kandinsky so much is that his work reminds me so much of my dad, whose an architect. Kandinsky's paintings have a mathematical quality to them, much like arts of architecture, music and the sciences. At first glance at this painting might make it seem unorderly and chaotic, but the painter actually had strong reasons for everything he did, from what colors he chose to what shapes he overlapped together. If any one ever tells you that abstract art is primitive, show them this work, and they'll have to agree that there is a sophistication to it.
