Wassily Kandinsky

Kandinsky has been one of my favorite artists since highschool. His work explores the idea of automatic painting, the subconscious and improvisation. I think exploring the automatic and unprovoked imagery produced by humans is absolutely fascinating from a psychological perspective. His work came around the same time Freud was exploring the subconscious.

Kandinsky uses lots of color, straight edges and subtle shading. These non figurative combinations of shapes, texture and color lead the eye around the canvas. Every time you look at his work, there is something new to look at. They're just absolutely awesome to look at.
