Kandinsky, It’s The Climb…


The Guggenheim New York is hosting a Kandinsky exhibit.

Initially, I thought if you have seen one Kandinsky you have seen them all.

Well, I was wrong.

The palette is exceptional.

The exhibit is hung from latest pieces painted in France to earliest artwork mostly composed in Germany.

Uprooted time and again, Kandinsky adapted with his every relocation across Germany, back to Russia, and eventually to France…all against the backdrop of the sociopolitical upheavals occurring around him.

His was not on a fixed path to abstraction, but rather a circular passage traversing the pursuit of one dominant ideal…the impulse for spiritual expression.

Of course, it is always interesting to hike the Guggenheim up to the top and see the artwork both coming and going.

It’s the climb…enjoy the journey:
