An interpretation of the art piece
The abstract painting piece of art is developed by Wassily Wassilyevich Kandinsky, a Russian Painter and art Theorist. He was a genius guy who is most credited in his exemplary work as a pioneer of abstract art. Born in Moscow Kandinsky develop the artistry nature since childhood that made him spend his childhood in Odessa, where he graduated from Grekov Odessa Art School. He later proceeded to study law and economics at the University of Moscow. In his work, Kandinsky worked in a wide range of material to bring out the authenticity of his abstract. He painted on canvas, boards, wood, plywood, glass, compressed board, and many more. As a pioneer, Kandinsky employed oil, watercolour, gouache, tempera and most probably a mixture the above medium to bring out a unique painting.
In his Painting, Kandinsky gave an impression of the Italia cornmeal (Kandinsky 2020). The coarsely grounded Cornmeal would easily explain the explosion of desire that is elicited through the cooking and partaking of Polenta. In his Painting, he expressed the popping noise of the perfect base of Polenta which with its conjuring ream of softness obsessed him. He visually represented the meal in his abstract Painting that attracted attention.
In his Painting Kandinsky emphasized on the continuous motion through different colours used in the Painting that evoked a spiritual force and portrayed the constant movement, growing and bursting nature when Polenta is prepared. The vibrant and shouting yellow colour used emphasized the theme of delicate grains that are used in polenta cornmeal. The sphere of the colour themes in the art gave a vivid picture of the inner desire of Kandinsky with a great love of the Polenta and its tasty colour (Kocaoğlu 2019)
Kandinsky directly connected his Painting with the smell and taste of Polenta. He sharply expressed his alertness to the everyday activities and the fundamentals of life. He appreciated the essence and importance of everything prepared in the Kitchen. Kandinsky proved that nature is loud enough for everyone to notice whatever is going on; it is beautiful sufficient for every eye to see. The only thing humanity ought to do is stop, pay keen attention and observe.
His paintings widely showed his inner desires that he didn’t talk off. Kandinsky had a distinguished brought up. Though he grew up and spent most of his time in Germany and Paris, he had an uncompromising attitude (Hardiman 2017). His tradition and faith followed him from Russia and expressed them through Painting as incorporated his practices in them. He relished a sense of mysteriousness and heavily guarded his secrets. In the Cornmeal Painting, Kandinsky inclined to the Russian “Synthetic” keyword that was invented in Russia to describe the fusion of various senses into a piece of art.
Conclusion
In the Cornmeal painting, Kandinsky emphasized on the visual expression of the Cornmeal. The yellow colour and dominant theme portrayed the delicacy of the grains that were mixed with water to form the Polenta. It also evoked a sense of spiritual force. The continuous motion of the prepared Polenta showed his obsessive nature towards the Cornmeal. Kandinsky expressed a connection of his Painting with the smell and the taste of the Cornmeal that sharply remained of his alertness to nature and his environs. He urged people to also pay attention to the beauty of nature by stopping and paying keen attention to the surrounding.
