Wassily Kandinsky

Due to a slightly unfortunate choice (on my part) in college majors, I never got myself a proper art education. Fortunately, that is a problem easily corrected by feeling inspired by images and then steering towards Wikipedia and Google Images immediately.

Such is the case with this image and learning more about Wassily Kandinsky, the Russian painter oft credited with "painting one of the first purely abstract works." He taught at the Bauhaus school and has a body of work that spans so many styles it's hard to imagine. He certainly was no one trick pony.

I particularly enjoy the simplicity of this abstraction but it's hard not to be smitten with absolutely everything.
