Morris Louis + Wassily Kandinsky

I am interested by both Morris Louis and Wassily Kandinsky because of how they both incl

ude a wide range of colours in their work, rather than a limited palette, so I am looking at them both because of how their use of colour can link to my own work as I am looking at the effects made by colour, and how they are applied to the composition in different medias and elements. Kandinsky made use of the relationship between form and colour to produce an aesthetic piece of work that would engage the viewer on an emotional level. His paintings were made up of using recognisable forms and wide swaths of colour. Louis' style interests me because of how he would create experimental pieces of work that would explore the different flows and effects created by acrylic paints, and he would do this by pouring layers of paint onto untreated canvases to create rivulets and veils.
