Kandinsky makes an astonishing inventory of his plastic alphabet on this chequerboard.
lnspired by ancient writing, biomorphic forms and scientific diagrams, Wassily Kandinsky presents a joyous repertory of miniature abstracts here. They stand out against the black or white background of this irregular chequerboard. These alternating positive and negative forms add to the playful character of a composition that subtly questions the distinction between painting and drawing.
