THE GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM and KANDINSKY

        The Guggenheim Art Museum on Fifth Ave in New York City, now there's a day trip, the building alone is a masterpiece of architectural art work (designed by Frank Lloyd Wright).

THE GUGGENHEIM ART MUSEUM EXTERIOR

        The Guggenheim is an international art museum collecting and exhibiting works primarily of contemporary and modern artists from the 19th and 20th centuries.

        So where does Kandinsky come into the picture, well it started in 1929 when philanthropist Solomon R Guggenheim began to acquire the works of Vasily Kandinsky.  Today the museum houses roughly 100 Kandinsky canvases and about 60 works on paper.

Several Circles, Vasily Kandinsky, 1926



Blue Painting, Vasily Kandinsky, 1924


Landscape with Red Spots II, Vasily Kandinsky, 1913

        The museum itself states that Kandinsky is the central figure in the history of the Solomon R Guggenheim Museum.  His works not only represent a part of the core and essence of the collection, but also helped to inspire the creation of the building.

        If you happen to be an non objective art enthusiast as I am, if you are ever in New York, The Guggenheim, is a must see.
