Description: Published in Verve, no. 2
Created in 1938 for the second issue of Verve, this lithograph reflects Kandinsky’s late exploration of abstraction, in which colour and form are used to suggest rhythm, balance, and a sense of the cosmic.

Geometric shapes and fine linear elements are carefully spread across the surface, creating a composition that feels both structured and fluid. Rather than describing the visible world, Kandinsky builds a visual language that points to something less tangible through harmony, movement, and the relationships between forms. Printed by Mourlot, the image retains the clarity and intensity of the original design. It is monogrammed in the plate with the artist’s “K” and dated 1938.

Issued as part of Verve, one of the most important art publications of the period, the work sits at the intersection of printmaking and publishing, where leading artists were invited to produce original lithographs for a wider audience.

Artist: Wassily Kandinsky (1866 - 1944)
