Wassily Kandinsky: Study for Circles on Black ; Artist: Wassily Kandinsky (1866–1944) Alternative names: Василий Васильевич Кандинский ...
Kandinsky compared abstract painting to the process of musical composition, and called his major conceptual works "compositions", as opposed to his lesser "improvisations". Composition X is the last of the ten compositions he painted during his lifetime (he was 73 at the time).
The composition of the painting consists mainly of diagonals. Geometric shapes such as lines, circles, semicircles, triangles, squares, a checkerboard pattern and a black area in the center of the crossing figures, as well as a larger brownish-gray trapezoid, are reminiscent of the Russian painter Kazimir Malevich and his suprematist style, which Kandinsky understood and admired.
