"Circles in a Circle" (German: "Kreise in Kreisen") is an abstract oil painting by Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky , created in 1923. This work is an important example of Kandinsky's abstract art and his emphasis on geometric shapes and colors. "Circles within a circle" is a purely abstract painting, meaning it does not depict specific objects or figures. Instead, it focuses on geometric shapes, patterns and colors. In addition to circles, we can observe other geometric shapes in the image, such as squares and stripes. These shapes intertwine to form a complex pattern. The image evokes a feeling of movement and rhythm. Repetition and variation of geometric shapes and colors give the impression of movement and life.

"Circles in a circle" is an important piece of abstract art that tries to express emotions, moods and thoughts using only shapes and colors. Kandinsky was one of the pioneers of this direction.

Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944). Russian painter and art theorist. One of the most famous painters of the 20th century. He gained fame through his abstract paintings. 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. Perhaps the most famous work of this era is Yellow - red - blue (1925).
