Painted in 1937, this painting illustrates an important chapter in the history of twentieth-century art and reveals Kandinsky at the height of his powers. In 1933, Kandinsky moved to Paris and the complex abstraction compositions he painted in the city during the 1930s – Tensions calmées chief amongst them – are considered the culmination of his artistic ideals.

 

The view will take place at Level B2, Gate Village Building 3, Dubai International Financial Centre, UAE on 17 and 18 May from 10am – 7pm.
