Im Grau
(Dans le gris)
1919
"lm Grau was the conclusion of my 'dramatic period',that is, the very thick accumulation of so many forms." (Kandinsky)
This was among the final works of Wassily Kandinsky's Russian period, painted a short time before he settled in Germany. The composition had been prepared in several works on paper, including a water colour that belongs to the Museum. On a background in muted tones of grey float organic elements that were soon ta be replaced by more geometric forms. ln the top-left corner, a pattern justifies the initial title chosen by the artist, Painting with the Black Bow.
