I have selected a number of images that I love to stare at! The top image: study of improvisation 5 (1910), shows a less distinct style compared to his later work related to his time at the bauhaus and the influences of those contempories. His vibrant use of colour is consistent and marks all his work in my view. His work is distinctive to me whether he is painting with more formless shape, as in the third example or whether with more geometric shape such as the image immediately above: circles in a circle (1923). I love the balance of vivid colour with striking shape. The assemblage of the shapes, lines and background colours punches me in the guts in a really good way! They are beautiful, impactful and I do get a sense of the musicality from the "noise" of the resounding colours. They are not discordant and clashing but beautifully woven.
