Date: 1936
Medium: oil on canvas

"Dominant Curve" by Wassily Kandinsky is an oil painting that was painted in 1936, during his abstract period. This work is a representative example of Kandinsky's Abstract Expressionism and is characteristic of his interest in color, line and form as means of expression. "Dominant Curve" is an abstract composition that consists of various geometric shapes and colored surfaces. At first glance, the painting may seem intricate and abstract, but Kandinsky wanted his works to evoke emotional responses and perceptions rather than concrete objects.

The central element of the composition is a curved line that runs diagonally across the canvas. This line, called the "dominant curve," gives the painting its name and plays a key role in its composition. A line can resemble something dynamic and moving, and can also symbolize an emotional or spiritual dimension.

The colors in the painting are bright and vivid, with different hues and contrasts creating an impression of movement and energy. Kandinsky paid special attention to the choice of colors and their combinations, which is characteristic of his work.

Overall, "Dominant Curve" by Wassily Kandinsky has an abstract nature and allows viewers to perceive and interpret it individually. Kandinsky was interested in the effect of abstract art on emotional responses and perception, and this work is a good example of his experiments in this area.

After the First World War, he moved to Germany, where he worked until 1933, when he fled the Nazis to France. He lived in France until his death. Kandinsky worked a long way to get to his abstract painting technique (he was fascinated by symbolism and the psychology of colour). Kandinsky’s most famous works belong to the Bauhaus movement - an artistic movement of the 20s and 30s. It is characterized by sharp, geometric shapes (circles, wedges, triangles, etc.), clear colours and thoughtful treatment of surfaces.
