Need some gallery hoppin' aint no stoppin' soon. 🎨🤦🏽♂️☺#SelfTimerPhotography Sorry to the random dude but you helped me frame the photo. #Kandinsky used to be one of my #favouritepainters, I admired his #JourneyToAbstraction and once wrote an essay on it. This is "Battle (The Cossacks)", painted in 1910-11. At first glance it may look like a child's painting, but it shows soldiers marching on the horizon, in their red Russian hats. #VisitingGalleries , seeing paint on canvases makes me burst to paint.🎨 From the #Tate: "The ‘cossacks’ of the title are Russian cavalrymen which you can just recognise from their orange hats at the top and right of the painting. However Wassily Kandinsky believed paintings did not need to represent the real world. He felt that emotions could be expressed through the way colours and lines were arranged in a painting. He linked musical tones to particular colours, and considered colour to have a powerful spiritual impact. Can you hear music when you look at the painting?? ‘The first colours which made a strong impression on me were light juice green, white, crimson red, black and yellow ochre. These memories go back to the third year of my life.’" 🎨🎨🎨
