THE STORY BEHIND KANDINSKY'S PAINTING

A timeless and iconic piece of modern art, the title of Swinging conveys the painting’s sense of dynamic movement, suggestive of the rhythms of modernity.

One of the pioneers of abstract painting, Kandinsky championed a mystical approach to art. His treatise Concerning the Spiritual in Art, published in 1911, argued for art that was purified from all references to the material world. He felt that color in particular was essential for liberating art from naturalistic appearances.
