What Matters Most

Wassily Kandinsky explored apocalyptic themes both in his art and writing.  However, in his foreboding about a disastrous future, he interjects a profound sense of  hope.  These opposing  forces of light and dark, the idyllic and the catostrophic, are symbolized in his Sketch for Composition II.  The dance of colors and shapes are mindful of the deeper mysteries, the sacred.  Birth and death, love and hate, desire and fear…all appear on the unmade bed of life where nothing is ever neat and tidy or convenient.  In celebration of the Guggenheim Museum’s 50th Anniversary, a special Kandinsky Exhibition is now being shown at the New York Guggenheim.
