Kandinsky Pixelized


The first thing I wanted to do is to comprehend the use of color by Kandinsky. What where his favorite colors? Naturally they varied from picture to picture. Its interesting to see how the eye travels and the color masses that occur. What I find more fascinating though, is that in the Computer Age one can take an image and do so much more with it. We were so limited in our potentials up until now. "Limited" is an interesting term in the discussion of Kandinsky. Without his genius there would be no art like it at all. How many artists copied Kandinsky since? - The answer is "All of them." From DeKooning to Paul Jenkins to Motherwell. Mediums, techniques, approaches might all be different, but there is a Kandinsky in all of us. Now to uncover what else is possible.
