Autumn in Bavaria by Wassily Kandinsky, 1908
German / Paintings (Reproductions) / Russian - 1 year ago - troycapc
This is a reproduction of Wassily Kandinsky’s “Autumn in Bavaria” of 1908. Kandinsky was born in Moscow in 1866 and was raised in Odessa. He began painting at the age of 30 and is credited as the first artist to paint a modern abstract work of art. After 22 years in Munich, Kandinsky returned to Russia in 1918 but found his art was not in favor. He returned to Germany, but the rise of the Nazis in 1933 led him to remove to France. He died there in 1944. This 1908 composition is one of Kandinsky’s less abstract pieces and in gorgeous in its use of form and color. The original painting is in the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris.

A reproduction of Francis Bacon “Human Form” of 1949. This was Bacon’s first nude painting and shows his life-long examination of the human figure in a treatment which is ambiguous and enigmatic. This figure is monumental while the technique is minimalised.
