11 Paintings and 7 Poems by Wassily Kandinsky, 1945

Kandinsky’s late works feel like a playful dance of shapes, and this 1945 piece is a perfect example. Floating against a creamy white background, bold geometric forms—a red circle, a green half-moon, and a sweeping orange arc—interact with a whimsical blue creature-like shape below. Created just before his death and published posthumously in the portfolio '11 Tableaux et 7 Poèmes,' these biomorphic forms show how the pioneer of abstract art moved away from strict geometry toward organic, almost microscopic life forms. It’s like looking at a colorful, abstract playground where shapes have personalities of their own.
