Composition VII




I really love the concept of this painting. At first glance you look at it as though anyone could do this, it is just random colors on a canvas. It looks so simplistic but it isn't until you really start to look at his painting where you start to see the real complexity and depth of this painting. I really enjoy how Composition VII is speculated to allude to the apocalyptic themes of Deluge, Last Judgement, Resurrection and Paradise. It really makes you think about what the artist was going through at the time he made this painting. To this day, it was considered by Kandinsky to be the most complex piece he ever painted and it is the most famous painting by the artist.
