Vasily Vasil'evič Kandinskij (1866 - 1944) was a Russian painter, naturalized French, also anglicized as Vassily Kandinsky, precursor and founder of abstract painting. Kandinskij in this essay dedicates himself to the graphic part that can exist even without color. The point is the first nucleus of the meaning of a composition, it is born when the painter touches the canvas; it is static. The line is the trace left by the moving point, so it is dynamic. It can be horizontal, vertical, diagonal. It can be broken, curved, mixed. Individual sounds can be mixed together; the more the line is varied, the more the spiritual tensions it arouses change: dramatic if it is broken, more lyrical if it is curved. The thickness also changes: it can be thin, marked, thick, variable. The surface is the material support intended to receive the content of the work, it is usually a canvas (but Kandinskij also painted pottery and plates).

  • Night Sun - Woodcut on Canvas by Laura D'Andrea - 2000s
    By Laura D'Andrea
    Located in Roma, IT
    Night Sun is an original artwork realized by Laura D'Andrea. Xilograph on canvas. Signed by the artist on the lower right margin. Perfect conditions. The artwork represents a circular shape surrounded by an abstract composition. The technique is very unique: xilograph on canvas; the artist uses only two colors for this piece: black and gold. In the center, there is a black sun. The composition instills a sense of serenity, but also of mystery. The artwork is reminiscent of the Mediterranean culture. Laura D'Andrea travelled frequently through the Mediterranean lands: her artworks, indeed, express a great sensation of freedom and a focused interest in oriental cultures. Laura D’Andrea is an Italian artist and engraver. She was born in Sicily where she currently lives and works. She studied printing and xylography at the Academy of Fine Arts of Rome and Urbino and Philosophy and Literature at the University of Grenoble. His first exhibition has been “La mia Sicilia” (My Sicily) in 1969 at Galleria Flaccovio in Palermo where, a few years later, she exhibited with “Hippies a Londra” (Hippies in London). In the 1980’s, she moved to Il Cairo in Egypt, where she studied Arabic calligraphy and she had the possibility to realize a series of graphic works that has been exhibited at the Egypt Academy of Rome. During that years, she started an artistic research through the historical Sicilian Baroque art and culture. Between 1986 and 1988, she exhibited with the solo show “L’Immaginario nel Barocco” (The Baroque Culture) at the Galleria Artivisive in Rome, at the Museum and Library of Ursino and Recupero in Sicily and at the European Parliament in Strasbourgh. In 2002 she exhibited with “Memoria Greca nel Mediterraneo” (Greek memory in the Mediterranean Sea) in Sicily. In 2007, she exhibited in Rome and in Saudi Arabia. Between 2011 and 2015, she started to explore the world of jazz music that will become an important subject of her future artworks; during that years she exhibited her works in England and in Belgium. Her artworks are a leap in the Mediterranean Sea, between Sicilian and Arab culture; Laura D’Andrea is a lover of the jazz music, through her canvases we can hear the sound of ancient and far places and people. Other important details of her work the calligraphy and the Archeoscrittura. Archeoscrittura is a trend that involves artists exploring into their genetic memory and finding signs of archaic scripture. Laura D'Andrea finds her inspiration in the depths of her personal memory, and in the study and influence of the signs and symbols of the Archaic writing in the Mediterranean. Her works can be found in the Museum of Modern Art Pecci in Florence, in the Museum of woodcut Carpi in Modena, in the Museum of Modern Art Maga of Varese, in the Museum of Modern Art of Valencia in Spain, and in the Museum of Art Mart of Trento and Rovereto in the donation of Mirella Bentivoglio.
