Kleine Welten V (Small Worlds V) - Wassily Kandinsky

A vibrant lithograph from Wassily Kandinsky's "Kleine Welten" series, this 1922 print showcases the artist's mastery of abstract form and colour theory. Perfect for adding a touch of Bauhaus sophistication to any modern interior.

Wassily Kandinsky's "Kleine Welten V" (Small Worlds V), created in 1922, exemplifies the artist's pioneering role in abstract art and his association with the Bauhaus movement. This lithograph is part of a series of twelve prints, "Kleine Welten" (Small Worlds), that represent a synthesis of Kandinsky's artistic theories and his exploration of geometric forms and colour. The series was created shortly after Kandinsky joined the Bauhaus school in Weimar, Germany, where he taught mural painting and abstract form. "Kleine Welten V" features a dynamic composition of geometric shapes, including squares, circles, and lines, arranged in a seemingly spontaneous yet carefully orchestrated manner. The interplay of colours—red, yellow, blue, and black—adds depth and vibrancy to the print. Kandinsky believed that colours evoked specific emotions and that their arrangement could create a visual symphony, mirroring the effects of music. The lithographic technique allows for crisp lines and subtle tonal variations, enhancing the overall visual impact of the work. As a fine art print for the home, "Kleine Welten V" brings a touch of avant-garde sophistication to any interior. Its abstract nature invites contemplation and personal interpretation, making it a compelling focal point for a living room, study, or hallway. The print's bold colours and geometric forms can complement a variety of decor styles, from minimalist to contemporary, adding a dynamic and intellectual dimension to the space.
