About the Artist
Wassily Kandinsky (1866–1944) is recognized as a pioneer of abstract art, whose innovative approach redefined the possibilities of painting in the twentieth century. His work at the Bauhaus and his theoretical writings established a new visual language grounded in the expressive power of color, form, and composition. Kandinsky’s influence endures in the ongoing evolution of modern and contemporary art.
This artwork, produced during his later years, reflects the mature phase of his career, when he synthesized geometric precision with organic forms.

The Artwork
Transmission, created in 1935, emerged at a time when Europe was experiencing rapid technological and social transformation. Rather than depicting recognizable subjects, Kandinsky sought to evoke the invisible energies and connections that shape our world. The painting’s title alludes to the idea of signals or messages passing between elements, suggesting a dynamic interplay of forces.
In this context, Transmission can be seen as a meditation on communication and harmony in a changing era. Kandinsky’s abstract vocabulary invites viewers to engage with the work on an emotional and intellectual level, encouraging personal interpretation and reflection.
Style & Characteristics
The composition features an array of geometric and biomorphic shapes, including playful circles, slender lines, and bars, all arranged across a warm, neutral background. The interplay of vibrant yellow, red, blue, and black creates a lively yet balanced effect, while the open spaces between forms lend the piece a sense of movement and rhythm.
Kandinsky’s use of color and line gives the artwork a crisp, modern character, with each element contributing to an overall sense of energetic harmony. The abstract design is visually engaging, making it a striking choice for those who appreciate modernist aesthetics. Discover more in our abstract art prints and Bauhaus posters collections.
In Interior Design
Transmission serves as a compelling focal point in contemporary, mid-century, or Scandinavian interiors, where its clean lines and vibrant palette can enhance a variety of spaces. It works well in living rooms, offices, or creative studios, bringing a sense of energy and sophistication.
Pair it with neutral walls and minimalist furnishings to highlight its dynamic forms, or combine it with other abstract works for a cohesive gallery wall. Its timeless appeal ensures it complements both modern and classic decor schemes.
