Wassily Kandinsky und Gestaltgesetze. Gestaltungsmittel der Komposition VIII

Study paper from 2020 in the field of Art - Art History, grade: 1.0, Georg-August-University Göttingen, language: German. Abstract: The question of which design elements Kandinsky employs in Composition VIII aims to approach the scientific value of the art elements and to understand Kandinsky's working method in creating an internally pulsating work. Apart from their scientific value, which depends on a precise examination of the individual art elements, the analysis of the art elements serves as a bridge to the inner pulsation of the work, as Kandinsky states in his theoretical work Point and Line to Plane. These art elements are to be the subject of this paper, which specifically deals with Composition VIII.
