Study For Green Border by Wassily Kandinsky

Kandinsky painted this watercolour in 1919 as a study for his painting Green Border, and it's a lovely look at how he worked: fast, loose and full of energy. In his own list of works he called it simply "Le bord vert", the green border.

A thick green frame of washed colour holds everything in, while inside, black lines, spotted shapes and bursts of yellow, orange and blue collide like instruments tuning up before a concert. Set on a deep raspberry border, it brings real life to a living room, studio or dining room.

Kandinsky is widely seen as one of the founders of abstract art, and he believed colour could work on us the way music does. This is that idea in miniature.
