“Yellow-Red-Blue” is an abstract artwork created by Wassily Kandinsky in 1925, in Alten / Dessau-alten, Germany. The oil on canvas painting belongs to the Abstract Art movement and measures 127 by 200 centimeters. The artwork is currently housed at the Georges Pompidou Center in Paris, France.
The artwork is a vivid manifestation of Kandinsky’s abstract style, characterized by geometric shapes, lines, and vibrant colors. Dominant in the composition are the primary colors yellow, red, and blue, which are juxtaposed and intermingled with secondary and tertiary shades. The painting presents an interplay of hard-edged forms, like rectangles and circles, and more fluid, organic shapes, creating a dynamic and engaging visual experience. The viewer’s eye is drawn to various focal points, from the bold yellow rectangle and red diagonal lines to the intricate, multicolored section on the right. The overall arrangement of the forms and colors evokes a sense of rhythm and balance, embodying the underlying principles of abstract art and reflecting Kandinsky’s deep exploration of color theory and composition.
