White Figure 1943Poster con cornice

White Figure 1943 shows a pale form set among loose lines and small floating shapes. Wassily Kandinsky built pictures like this from thin drawn lines and flat patches of paint, each part placed by eye rather than by a scene.

The frame comes in white, wood, dark wood or black. A wood edge picks up the warmer tones in the drawing, while a white one lets the pale figure run into the border.

Hang the framed poster in a hallway where daylight falls across the wall. Walking past, you catch the thin lines first and the white shape last.
