Bleu de ciel
1940
Living as a recluse in his apartment in Neuilly-sur-Seine during the Occupation, Kandinsky dreamed of a cosmic and poetic world.
ln 1940, Wassily Kandinsky went to see Joan Miro in Varengeville-sur-Mer. Further to this visit, he borrowed the surrealist artist's "colour of [his] dreams" and constellations of biomorphic shapes. ln these times of war, as if seeking refuge in nature, Kandinsky populated his abstraction with a multitude of cellular forms and small, fantastical creatures.
