Kandinsky - Composition VIII

[@schizoidboy]

I like this painting. Looking at it and thinking this was done just over a hundred years ago it almost feels as if it is in the wrong time period. This painting looks like it came from the pastel era of the 1980s. Some of the shapes look like records and everything relating to music, like this was painted for a music recording studio. When it comes to meaning and abstract I sometimes wonder if it does matter or does it need to mean something. If the color and shapes are appealing than that might be enough. Granted a piece of art that does tell a story is an intriguing one, but sometimes art for art's sake might be better off just existing for the sake of existing.

Great insights. It’s interesting to me that people can get so many different ideas from a piece of art - as if it somehow jogs our own inner ponderings.
