Sounds Plate 21
1913
Step into the chaotic world of Wassily Kandinsky's 1913 book *Klänge* (Sounds), where this dramatic woodcut lives. A large, gaping figure on the right seems to be letting out a primal scream or song, while other forms twist and turn on the left in a rough, expressive style. Kandinsky created these prints to visually echo the 'sounds' of his accompanying poems, marking a pivotal moment where he began breaking away from traditional representation toward pure abstraction. It's like looking at the visual equivalent of a loud, dissonant chord!
