EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Wassily Kandinsky's masterpiece, "Saint George I" created in 1911. Housed in the esteemed collection of Stadtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus in Munich, this abstract artwork is a true testament to Kandinsky's genius and his significant contribution to the world of art. "Saint George I" delves into Christian mythology, depicting the iconic figure of Saint George engaged in a battle with a fearsome dragon. Through Kandinsky's unique lens of abstraction and expressionism, he explores themes of good versus evil, martyrdom, and knighthood. The composition exudes rhythm and colourfulness as vibrant hues dance across the canvas. This nonrepresentational piece challenges traditional artistic norms while maintaining an undeniable decorative quality that captivates viewers. Kandinsky was at the forefront of the Russian avant-garde movement known as "The Blue Rider". His innovative approach to painting on glass further adds depth and texture to this remarkable artwork. Although later deemed "degenerate art" during Nazi Germany due to its abstract nature, "Saint George I" remains an enduring symbol of modern art. It serves as a reminder not only of Kandinsky's immense talent but also his ability to transcend boundaries through his revolutionary style. As we gaze upon this print by Fine Art Images/Heritage Images, we are transported back in time to witness Saint George's valiant fight against evil—a timeless tale brought vividly to life through Kandinsky's visionary brushst
