Six paintings. One concept

After the Nazis closed the Bauhaus of Berlin, where Kandinsky taught, he settled in Paris from 1934 until his death, in 1944.

His abstraction changed there: it was still pure abstraction, but instead of geometrical there was a predominance of irregular curves and biomorphic shapes. These shapes are "invented," unreal shapes, which recall weird animals, microorganisms, extravagant vegetables, primitive, embryonic forms of life.

That is why this stage of his work is called “the period of Paris” or the “biomorphic abstraction.”
