Color Study, Squares with Concentric Circles - Vassily Kandinsky
Strong in his belief in abstract art, Vassily Kandinsky created this watercolor of twelve groups of concentric circles in as many squares in 1913. According to the artist, the geometric point, from a material point of view, is equal to zero, and represents the invisible, silence. In this work, this geometric point finds its material form. A certain musicality emanates from the masterpiece of the artist who likes to associate colors with musical instruments.

The artist
Born in Moscow, Vassily Kandinsky (1866 - 1944) owes his vocation as an artist to an impressionist painting by Monet. At the age of 30, he moved to Munich and began to work in a colorful post impressionist style. In 1909 he moved to Murnau in the Bavarian countryside and his work took a less figurative turn. His first work with abstract forms dates from 1910. He joined, along with Franz Marc, the "Blaue Rieter" ("Blue Rider") circle, a group of avant-garde expressionists, which split up when the war broke out. In 1913, he embarked on the path of radical abstraction, in which spontaneity was the main focus. Moving to Germany in 1921, he became a professor at the Bauhaus, an art school. He ended his life in Paris, where his art was not successful.
