Wassily Kadinsky : Upward, 1929

Oil on paperboard
70 x 49 cm

Peggy Guggenheim Collection Venice
Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, New York

Further description in the alt text 👇
Wassily Kandinsky here achieves an effect of energy rising upward, while anchoring the forms together by balancing them on either side of a continuous vertical line. Geometric shapes and sections of circles combine in a structure suspended in a field of rich turquoise and green. A partial circle rests delicately on a pointed base. Another fragment of a circle glides along its vertical diameter, reaching beyond the circumference of the first form to penetrate the space above it. A linear design in the upper right corner of the present canvas echoes the vertical thrust of the central motif. This configuration resembles the letter E, as does the black cutout shape at the base of the central motif. These forms may at once be independent designs and playful references to the first letter of Empor, the German title of the painting. The physiognomic character indicates Kandinsky’s association at the Dessau Bauhaus with fellow Blaue Vier artists Paul Klee and Alexej Jawlensky. Jawlensky showed 16 abstract heads in an exhibition of the Blaue Vier in 1929, which offered Kandinsky the model of large, abstract faces composed of geometric planes of non-naturalistic color and accented by bar-shaped features. However, Kandinsky’s working method more closely resembled that of Klee, who began with intuitively chosen forms that gradually suggested counterparts in the natural world, than that of Jawlensky, who began with the model and moved toward abstraction.

Paul Nash belonged to the very diverse generation of British modern artists who went to the Slade and included Stanley Spencer, Ben Nicholson, and Dora Carrington. 'Wood on the Downs,' (c1929) features Ivinghoe Beacon in Buckinghamshire; a gratifying picture of Englishness.

Degenerate Art

Further description & info in the alt text 👇
Geometric abstraction featuring horizontal and vertical balancing structures. The piece was featured at The Jewish Museum in New York City as part of the prominent retrospective exhibition titled 'Paul Klee: Other Possible Worlds.' Created during Klee's tenure at the Bauhaus, the artwork highlights his shifting focus toward direct political commentary. The piece mocks Italian Fascism by turning its obsession with grandiose, classical Roman monuments on its head The Illusion of Power: By depicting the structure as perpetually unfinished or "in progress," Klee playfully dismantles the regime's demands for eternal, heroic perfection. The "Degenerate" Context: Although Klee was not Jewish, his sharp, avant-garde social critiques led the rising Nazi regime to brand his creations as "degenerate art," resulting in his dismissal from his German teaching position and eventual exile back to Switzerland.

'Beach Road, Beaumaris.' (c1929)
The Australian artist Clarice Beckett's reputation rests to a certain extent on her soft, grey-pink coastal scenes of Beaumaris in Melbourne, Australia - the 'scientific' principles of tonal painting, were absorbed from her teacher Max Meldrum.
'Beach Road, Beaumaris.' (c1929) The Australian artist Clarice Beckett's posthumous reputation rests to a certain extent on her soft, grey-pink coastal scenes of Beaumaris in Melbourne, Australia - the 'scientific' principles of tonal painting, which she absorbed from her teacher Max Meldrum, were as applicable to portraiture and still life as they were to landscape.
