Did you know?
Wassily Kandinsky, a pioneer of abstract art, believed in the spiritual power of color and form, aiming to create art that resonated directly with the soul without relying on representational subjects. His work from the 1930s, such as "Thirteen Rectangles," often explored the interplay of geometric shapes, reflecting his continued search for universal harmony and expression during his time at the Bauhaus and later in Paris.
