Deciphering Kadinski
I am always drawn to artists who can tell a whole story in a few simple lines or a few “blobs” of colour. To be able to simplify and still have such an impact is something I greatly admire. So for this exercise I decided to use “Improvisation 6 (African)” by Wassily Kadinski.
I framed a small portion of the painting and tried to match the colours within the frame.
On first sight only a few colours where used to create this painting:
Black
White
Red
Yellow
Blue
Green
However on close inspection I saw so many different colour tones and areas where the colours are mixed with each other on the canvas that I ended up with quite a few more colour swatches. And every time I look at this picture I think there are more colours to be found.
