Kandinsky, the Odyssey of Abstraction, Exhibition, Atelier des Lumières, Paris: 18 February 2022-2 January 2023

After the exhibition on Cézanne, discover a 10-minute creation based on works of the artist Vassily Kandinsky (1866-1944).

This immersive exhibition is composed of two distinct parts: his figurative work and the advent of abstraction. The first part evokes the artist’s early figurative work, influenced by Impressionism, oniric Fauvism, and, to some extent, pointillism. Plunge into Kandinsky’s memories, Russian folklore, and the country’s legendary capital. 

The second part is more experimental, highlighting the force of movement and the rhythm and colour. Immersed in a chromatic explosion, discover the most significant works of this modernist impetus up to the biomorphic works of his last years. It shows that,  as in the case of music, painting gradually shifted away from representational constraints and no longer used the real world as a reference but the inner self instead.
