Back in 2017, one of the challenges of my Art Challenge Group was "Russia". Having never been to Russia, I struggled with the subject until I remembered my affection for a certain Russian born artist, Wassily Kandinsky. I have always loved Kandinsky's abstract and geometric works. So I decided to attempt a Kandinsky-like drawing in colored pencil. This was the result.
Last October when I was in New York, I got to see the actual painting I used as my inspiration for my drawing. I had my friend Glenda take a photo of me by the painting.
The Guggenheim Museum had an exhibit of Kandinsky's works. Solomon Guggenheim was a friend and patron of Kandinsky and he owned a very large number of his works, all of which were on display
On Sharon's Sojourns today I've created a post all about that exhibit. So many beautiful pieces!
That is nice, you made a good likeness of the original!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! I am impressed.: )
ReplyDeleteNeat art. There is a Russian market near me, would be fun to take photos of some of the goodies.
