About
Study for ‘Painting with White Border (Moscow)’ was one of the studies that Kandinsky completed over five months before he finally arrived at the culmination of his efforts, Painting with White Border (Moscow). This study consists of bold color strokes that are shaded by various colors to highlight the planes formed by them. Kandinsky’s use of colors emulated his idea that colors corresponded to different sounds, and he wanted to capture the sounds of Moscow. The sounds he sought to visualize was the sounds of a three-horse sled (which can be seen in the three intertwining lines on the bottom of the painting) and the story of St. George (shown through the jagged lines on the right of painting emulating a dragon back). These stories and sounds and traditionally passed on orally, and the recognition of them visually gives the painting a sense of place of Moscow.
