Consider Kandinsky's Black Lines and Miró's Carnival of the Harlequin. Identify the movements with which each artist is associated. Discuss each artist's interest in abstraction and/or nonrepresentation within the movement with which each is identified
What will be an ideal response?
Black Lines by Vasili Kandinsky organized the group Der Blaue Reiter, which sought to eliminate subject matter and employ a nonrepresentational style to communicate a formal language of line, form, and color. Kandinsky's intense arbitrary colors and wavering lines link it to Fauvism, which employed the same bright colors and mystical themes. Miró's painting Carnival of the Harlequin offered a Surrealist view of the famous painting Las Meninas, by Velasquez. Miró created a fantasy world of colorful, nameless abstract forms that participated in a swirling universe of lighthearted play and movement.
