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. 😉
