Russian Vasily Vasilevich Kandinsky was the first painter to purposely abandon figurative art in favor of abstraction. Detachment of the image content from our cognitive experience meant it was no longer clear.

For this reason, the painter supported his artistic intents with extensive exegesis. Talking about the meaning of lines and colors he reached the realm of the esoteric. Just like Scriabin, who did this in the opposite direction, he tried to assign painting a musical context. These aspects are referred to in "Composition VIII" as the title implies.

This work was created in the second period of the abstract Kandyńsky, when he gave lectures at the Bauhaus. What is characteristic here is geometrization of space with uniform development across the picture. Multidirectional straight and wavy lines add to its dynamics.

Color range is wide by remaining uniform inside the closed shapes and ”diluting out" only outside. Works by Kandinsky were laboriously formed as the painter's purpose was to achieve balance between the sensual and spiritual (meaning Esoteric) element in the work.

He also feared that his painting would get mistaken for wallpaper. Was this fear justified?
