Wassily Kandinsky: "Circles in a Circle" (1923) Bauhaus Abstract Art Print

Dive into the cosmic harmony of pure abstraction with this iconic Wassily Kandinsky Circles in a Circle (1923) reproduction. This masterpiece marks the artist's definitive embrace of geometric form during his transformative years at the Bauhaus School of Design.

Painted shortly after Kandinsky (1866–1944) joined the Bauhaus faculty in Weimar, Germany, this work synthesizes his earlier lyrical abstractions with the school's Constructivist and rationalist focus. Kandinsky believed the circle was the "synthesis of the greatest oppositions" and pointed most clearly to the "fourth dimension," symbolizing the cosmos and the spiritual realm. In Circles in a Circle, a thick black border contains twenty-six interacting, overlapping circles of vibrant color. Two diagonal shafts of light—yellow and blue—cut across the composition, creating optical color shifts where they intersect the floating orbs. This piece is a key visual document of the Bauhaus movement, showcasing the systematic, quasi-scientific approach Kandinsky detailed in his seminal 1926 treatise, Point and Line to Plane. It is essential Abstract Modernism and sophisticated Bauhaus wall decor.
