NEW TO INVENTORY: "Holzschnitt für die Ganymed-Mappe” by Wassily Kandinsky. — Wassily Kandinsky pioneered abstract painting in the early 20th century. He believed that geometric forms, lines, and colors could express the inner life of the artist—a theory evident in his explosive imagery, which was often inspired by music. In 1911, Kandinsky played a central role in organizing Der Blaue Reiter, a group of avant-garde artists in Munich that included Franz Marc and Paul Klee. From 1922 to 1933, he taught at the Bauhaus, the historic Weimar institution that brought together artists including Josef Albers, Lazlo Maholy-Nagy, and Piet Mondrian. — Image: © Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944); “Holzschhnitt für die Ganymed-Mappe,” 1924; Woodcut on roughly grained thin Japan paper with original folio and colophon (Edition of 100); 9.5 x 12.375 inches (24.1 x 31.4 cm). — #wassilykandinsky #kandinsky #woodcut #abstraction #expressionism #holzschnitt #ganymed
