Kandinsky’s Universe: Geometric Abstraction in the 20th Century
With 2 loans from the Mercedes-Benz Art Collection
The Mercedes-Benz Art Collection is supporting the exhibition ‘Kandinsky’s Universe: Geometric Abstraction in the 20th Century’ with two loans from its collection.
About the exhibition: At the beginning of the 20th century, painting underwent a profound transformation. Artists no longer wanted to depict the visible; they aspired to a new visual language that reduced artistic expression to an interplay of colors, lines, and shapes. Geometric Abstraction viewed these elements as a visual language that reflected the modern world and transcended national boundaries. Kandinsky’s Universe: Geometric Abstraction in the 20th Century spans six decades and showcases how Geometric Abstraction found radical expression in all its variations in Europe and the USA.
