Kandinsky



Kandinsky is another popular artist that I like. Just today I found a book on psychology that used his painting as the cover piece. The piece above (colour study) shows Kandinsky beautiful techniques, and brilliant washes.




The piece above shows how effective the use of colour can be. It also uses shapes in a very interesting way, thus I felt it was particularly relevant to this unit. The amount of bright colour and background wash is perfect and sets the foreground of well, and it avoids looking to busy unlike the Picasso one.




Another very famous piece even found in Pizza Hut toilets! It summarises colour and simplicity to me and shows just how effective colour and shape can be.
