composition v11

above are two works by russian artist wassily kandinsky.

i am absolutely captivated by these two pieces.

each painting seems alive, as if the artist himself has captured the very energy of his being and placed it directly into the canvas, bringing a life that needs no form, no metaphorical 'second stage' that physical objects represent. instead, it seems to act as a document of his persona (at the time each piece was being made) through this method of abstraction. i find it similar to a number of pollock's ecstasy-infused paintings in where physical movements are documented through each uncontrollable paint splatter. very honest.
