'Point in the Bow' as painted in 1927 by Wassily Kandinsky.
With the rise of Nazism Russian painter Vassily Kandinsky (1866-1944) and his wife Nina Fled Germany. In January 1934 they moved to Neuilly-sur-Seine in a new building indicated to them by Marcel Duchamp. In exile the painter took full part in the artistic activity of the French capital. Abstract artists welcomed him less than surrealist poets and artists did. He found common cause with Miró, Arp, Breton and Max Ernst, he met his compatriot Marc Chagall, the Romanian Brancusi, Alberto Magnelli, Fernand Léger and Piet Mondrian too. But ultimately, it was his surrealist friends, in particular Miró and Arp, who most influenced his pictorial development in Paris where he integrated his biomorphic forms into his pictorial vocabulary, to go as far as he could beyond geometric abstraction. |
