New Delhi: Celebrating the 148th birth anniversary of Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky, Google has posted a doodle that shows an abstract artwork. Kandinsky is credited with painting the first purely abstract works.
His expressionist masterpiece "Studie zu Improvisation 3, 1909" was the highlight and leading indicator for a flat Christie's London Impressionist and modern art sale at an auction in June last year.
Kandinsky, who did not begin painting until age 30 and taught at Germany's influential Bauhaus school for a decade, conceived his oeuvre into categories of "Impressions," "Improvisations" and "Compositions," starting with the "Improvisations" series. "Study for Improvisation 8" and its finished version were the last in that series.
