“Crossing” presents a meticulous interplay of vertical lines and shading, embodying the essence of abstract art. The artwork features various black lines of differing widths that traverse the composition, creating a rhythmical pattern. The background is shaded in a gradient of muted hues ranging from light to dark, evoking a sense of depth and movement. The lines, both sharp and subtly blended, guide the viewer’s eye through a structured yet dynamic visual experience, characteristic of Kandinsky’s abstract style. The careful composition and juxtaposition of colors and lines manifest an abstract harmony and balance.
