Yellow, red, blue is a canvas oil painting (127x200 cm) made in 1925 by the painter Vasilij Kandinskij.
Between 1922 and 1933, Kandinsky teaches Bauhaus. During this period his compositions appear structured according to geometric principles. In the work, yellow and blue are associated with acute shapes and curved patterns respectively; contrast to red, which is arranged in rectangular forms, emerges in the center of the picture. The yellow left area seems to move forward, while the blue on the right produces a retrograde effect. The combination of simple visual elements determines dynamism and spatial effects.
The yellow zone is dominated by graphic signs that form the stylized profile of a man. It is curious, however, to note how, by overturning the work, the same signs give life to the nose of a cat. Right then, after the red and blue areas, we find a very marked black line of serpentine form that somehow "closes" the whole frame.
It is kept in the Pompidou Center in Paris. Links externalize the wikitesto
