Artist: Wassily Kandinsky
An abstract painting from 1939 in which Kandinsky arranges a blue mass, a pink biomorphic figure, a black arc and linked geometric forms into a non-narrative composition. This docent-led visit examines the visible structure and the limits of the available record.
Artist: Wassily Kandinsky
A gallery walk through Kandinsky's 1935 abstract painting Two Green Points, reading its colour fields, black looping line and biomorphic forms as a composition built around two small circles. Drawn from a limited supplied record, so the account stays close to what the evidence supports and leaves the painting's private symbolism open.
Artist: Wassily Kandinsky
A small oil on board from 1904, made before Kandinsky's abstract breakthroughs, showing the Dutch seaside resort of Scheveningen with its rows of beach cabins, bathers and open shoreline. This visit looks at how the painting turns ordinary resort activity into a study of depth, colour and scale.

Artist: Wassily Kandinsky
