Wasily Kandinsky Vintage 1955 Mourlot Lithograph "Improvisation XXXI" Print Framed Paris Exhibition Poster

"Improvisation XXXI" by Wassily Kandinsky, Lithograph printed in 1955. The overall size of the Lithograph is 22 x 15 inches. This lithographic poster was printed by Mourlot in 1955 to commemorate the exhibition "Dramatic Period" by Wassily Kandinsky at the Maeght Gallery. The lithograph was executed after Kandinsky's 1913 watercolor "Improvisation XXXI," capturing the essence and dynamism of the original work. The lithograph captures the vibrant color palette of the original watercolor, including rich blues, reds, yellows, and greens. These colors are integral to Kandinsky's work, reflecting his belief in the emotional and spiritual power of color. The lithographic process used by Mourlot ensures that the colors are bright and true to the original.
--Wassily Kandinsky pioneered abstract painting in the early 20th century. He believed that geometric forms, lines, and colors could express the inner life of the artist—a theory quite evident in his own explosive paintings, which were often inspired by music. Today, Kandinsky’s canvases sell for tens of millions at auction and belong in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Tate, among other prestigious institutions. In 1911, Kandinsky played a central role in organizing Der Blaue Reiter, a group of avant-garde artists in Munich that included Franz Marc and Paul Klee. From 1922 to 1933, he taught at the Bauhaus, the historic Weimar institution that brought together artists including Josef Albers, Lazlo Maholy-Nagy, and Piet Mondrian.
