"Transverse Line" Wassily Kandinsky
Okay so the sketch assignment we had this week had me thinking about abstract art, how they take a blank canvas and make an image that is often not premeditated, unlike more traditional art styles that plan a piece. My boyfriend is really into modern style art so I spent some time looking at some of his favorite artists. Wassily Kandinsky was creating these very "modern" and abstract pieces way before the actually modern movement gained strength. So he is often credited with painting the first modern abstract works. I picked this particular image because, well I like it, but I like it because of the black lines and white background. All the edges and lines are very clean and the little amounts of accent colors make it subtle an yet powerful. This would be a piece you would hang in your house that a lot of people would walk at first then take a double take and examine it more closely.~Chelsea
