Great Resurrection,
EDITORS COMMENTS
or "Grosse Auferstehung," is a captivating and enigmatic color woodcut print created by the Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky in 1913, as part of his series "Klänge" (Sounds). This abstract masterpiece, now held in a private collection, showcases Kandinsky's innovative approach to visual art and his exploration of the relationship between music, dance, and the Bible. The composition of "Great Resurrection" is a mesmerizing interplay of vibrant colors and bold, abstract shapes. The image appears to depict a scene of spiritual awakening, with figures emerging from the depths of the composition, seemingly brought to life by the dynamic interplay of colors and forms. The title "Sounds" suggests that Kandinsky intended this work to evoke the sensory experience of music, perhaps reflecting his belief that art and music share a common language. The influence of the Bible on Kandinsky's work is evident in the title of this print, which references the Christian concept of the Resurrection. However, unlike traditional religious art, Kandinsky's interpretation is decidedly abstract, inviting viewers to engage with the work on their own terms. As a pioneer of abstract art and a leading figure in the Expressionist movement, Kandinsky's "Great Resurrection" continues to inspire and challenge viewers with its bold use of color and form, and its exploration of the spiritual dimensions of art. This iconic work remains an enduring testament to Kandinsky's visionary artistic vision and his belief in the transformative power of art to transcend the boundaries of language and culture.
