A woodcut by Vassily Kandinsky from his “musical album” Klänge (Sounds), comprising images and poems, published in 1913 in Munich. Kandinsky created all fifty-six woodcuts between 1907 and 1912 during his Blau Reiter period, producing increasingly abstract images that were pivotal to the development of abstraction in his work.
This second print, authorised by his wife Nina Kandinsky in 1974, is one of only a few reprinted woodcuts. Dynamic and colourful, the composition highlights Kandinsky’s interplay of colour, form, and blank space, reflecting his pursuit of a synthesis between image and sound. Glazed under museum glass in a walnut frame, it is a rare and striking modern woodcut.
