Its just incredible to truly study the work of Kandinsky. Every line, every circle is present for a reason. in this particular work, Kandinsky does take a grand look into the future. - "Space the final frontier." Robotics, planets, all included in this magnificent spacial work. However his glimpse and intuition shows a small piece of paper on the left hand side duplicating and attempting to copy his original. It may not be an exact duplication but a "painting within a painting." The attempt to break out of the typical dimensionality into something new. Its obvious he is looking to go beyond the four corners of the paper he is working on. Abstract faces looking back and the link to Cubism. This work has everything in it and has the omnipresence of its time. Heroic in nature Kandinsky paints a timeless work beckoning the future to enjoy once again.
As we fast forward approximately 90 years, we can now double the adventure. Kandinsky was never able to lie one image over another. The blending process was not possible, and if it was it had to be with tremendous difficulty. Today it is a matter of a few simple procedures. It opens the door to another horizon, and endless experiences. This might not be what Kandinsky had in mind but it surely allows new creators to challenge their decisions.
