Kandinsky Red-Yellow-Blue
A few weeks ago, I went to Somerset House, The Courtauld Collection for Impressionists. Once again, I realised how beautiful the building was. Every corner of the architecture was elaborately decorated.
There are lots of impressionist paintings like A Bar at the Folies-Bergere by Edouard Manet (1882), Two dancers on a stage by Edgar Degas (1874), Nevermore by Paul Gauguin (1897), Self-portrait with Bandaged ear by Vincent Van Gogh (1889) and so on.
The ones that I really liked was Wassily Kandinsky.
The Red Circle (1939)
This characteristic late work was painted in the year that Kandinsky gained French citizenship. It’s playful combination of ladders, grids, colourful shapes and a large sun-like disc provoke numerous possible interpretations. the painting’s open- ended imagery suggests Kandinsky’s awareness of French Surrealist art. Which he admired for its efforts to ‘create a new relationship with nature’
Kandinsky (1910) Improvisation on Mahogany.
By 1910 Kandinsky had developed his art to the brink of abstraction. He started to group his paintings into three categories; ‘Impressions’. ‘Improvisations’. ‘Compositions’. The associations were intended to be musical, emphasising the sensation of colour, line and form freed from their descriptive functions. Here, isolated details can be ire of a women and the identified, such as the figure of a women and the outlines of a walled city, to the right. However, the textured patches of brilliant colour generate their own energy and harmony.
Also, a good thing about going to The Courtauld Collection was taking pictures. You can get closer to the painting so that you will be able to see the textures of art.
The paintings really inspired me and I couldn’t get out of my mind. The following day I went to work and one of my regular client Lucy came. I told her about my recent visiting at Somerset House and how much Kendinsky paintings inspired me and I suggested I could do something a different hair style for her.
Here is my haircut inspired by Kandinsky ‘Yellow-Red-blue’ and It’s one of my favourites art by Kandinsky.
You can see particularly with this painting, I love geometric shape, lines, strong colourful, also musical. It all works together harmonically.
I cut three lines with different level with Graduation and disconnected length on front.
Thanks to Katie to let me to try this haircut and I loved cutting her hair. 😉
Thanks for visiting here. Hope you enjoyed reading it.
Another Brilliant Artist – Anna Walsh
Anna Walsh
Anna is predominantly a painter and drawer, and animals have been a life-long theme for her, spanning from her early childhood right up to and beyond her MA at Camberwell College of Art.
Her work draws upon her knowledge and love of the natural world, through photographs and books as well as painting, illustration and mixed media. She is interested in its ordering and classification systems,and how humans influence and manipulate the way animals in particular evolve and are depicted.
She produces work in a range of contexts from her ironic illustrations for textile products and limited edition prints, to more thought-provoking collections for exhibitions about endangered species or specific breeds.
Anna has an annual solo show in Notting Hill and is very active with commissions and exhibitions across London and the UK. She has work in a variety of private collections, including Ralph Whistlers Dodo Museum in Hastings, as well as in the Tate Gallery’s collection of artists books.
A new addition to the much-loved Dogs of London project, Anna Walsh has created the Dogs of London Map – a large scale print that puts the capital’s pooches in their places!
The key to the map describes each breed using quotes from Richard Hamilton Glyn’s ‘Champion dogs of the World’ book, and viewers will delight in the hilariously uncanny matching of pets to the inhabitants of London’s postcode districts.

Budget Budgies – Camberwell Special
Taking inspiration from the cut-throat world of budgerigar shows and natural history illustrations, ‘Budget Budgies’ celebrates the weird world of champion budgerigar breeding and gives it a high street twist.
The bizarre yet beautiful exhibition, spots the similarities between budgie breeding and budget high street shops (in this case in Camberwell) bringing a wonderfully exotic display of feathered friends to The Butterfly Walk Shopping Centre. Whilst budgie owners obsess over pedigrees, colours and fanciful names, high street shops battle to grab the attention with bright logos and catchy slogans.
With a bird for each brand, the hand drawn budgies have been ‘bred’ to sport the shops’ corporate colours and given suitably lavish names, incorporating brand slogans, shedding new light on our familiar urban environment.
A lot more of her work, please go to her web-site – http://www.annawalsh.co.uk/
Rewind Time is delighted to promote her work. This blog site will be on the Rewind Time main web-site soon.

Have you been to John Soane’s Museum yet?
Sir John Soane’s Museum is one of London’s hidden gems, near Holborn Tube station. The Museum used to be the home of Sir John Soane, a 17th and 18th century architect and collector of bits and bobs from all over the world! It’s an absolutely stunning building, filled with fabulous things. I absolutely loved every single of it at this Museum.
Look at the surface of the ceilings. Very well designed furniture shapes and textures. Each room has got so many different feelings. When i went to basement, I even got the shivers.
There is ornate furniture, oriental objects, paintings, building fabrics, medieval and classical antiquities ect. This place really takes you back to the 17th and 18th century.
If you haven’t been there yet, I would highly recommend to go. It’s a very interesting and exquisite place!
I loved hearing about the paintings in the picture room. They are full of stories, endless stories…
Thanks for visiting!
