Transverse Line by Wassily Kandinsky Low-poly 3D model

One of the most dominate shapes in ‘Transverse Line’ is a circle,a shape that Kandinsky felt represented peace and the human soul. He went so far as describing a circle as romantic.The circle in this piece is also the most complex element of the painting with various shapes,lines and colours within its border. Although chaotic at a first glance,the painting evokes feelings of optimism and happiness. The painting has similar imagery as Kandinsky’s ‘On White II’, one of the artist’s most famous works that was also completed in the same year.Earlier paintings often featured abstract representations of actual images and figures,including animals and angels. Later works like ‘Transverse Line’ were much more abstract with a greater emphasis on lines,shapes and colour.At the same time, the painter believed in a strong relationship art has with classical music. He attempted to match colours with musical notes in many works!
