kandinsky


improvisation 7

Kandinsky identified 3 types of paintings (designated by titles associated with music):
-impressions, based on real life subjects.
-improvisations, spontaneous and unconscious images from the artist's inner life.
-compositions, formally developed formats, often preceded by a series of studies.

interesting to say the least!

so different from the previous ones. maybe coming from a combination of sketch class and visiting Lore Hauptman and delighting in her collages.
