Delicate Tension No 85 1923 — Fine Art

The title Delicate Tension No 85 1923 points to an abstract image with sharp lines and small colour spots. Wassily Kandinsky worked in geometric shapes and soft washes, and this fine art print follows that same approach. The field holds balanced forms that lean on each other.

A white frame gives the picture a clean edge on the wall, so the loose lines do not feel lost at the sides. The fine art finish keeps the surface matte, which suits the faint colour patches and stops bright glare from washing them out.

It hangs above the kettle in a narrow kitchen. From the worktop you see the dark strokes first, and the small spots only when you step closer.
