Abstract

The article intends to elucidate Wassily Kandinsky's theory of colors and graphic forms. Our interpretation is that this theory is a logic of the relationships between the elements of painting, colored forms and graphic forms. This logic is based on a tensional conception of composition based on the notion of contrariety and opposition. The abstract work of art presents itself as a series of internal tensions and contrasts between colors and graphic forms, allowing those who understand it to establish a meaning to the composition. We intend to analyze this logic of composition between graphic and colored forms, allowing us to discern a bristle ordering of these elements in a painting.
