It doesn't necessarily make me happy. In nearly every piece, there is one significant field of color that I find jarring and less than cheerful. But he probably was expressing something more complicated than "cheerful." So yes, I celebrate his work.

And abstract does this even more so, because it's all emotion. Color itself is emotions. IMO. I was also reminded of childhood drawings...

All I see is turmoil in his works. I know that he is appreciated my many and that is good as we all have our own emotions towards art -- some negative some positive and some in-between. Your post was good as it brought out emotions and perhaps that is what Kadinsky is all about. -- barbaraFolkways Note Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07168881905408345126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613729047769383491.post-81038493409417253112012-01-23T09:16:05.847-06:002012-01-23T09:16:05.847-06:00Dear Teresa,

It reminds me of stained glass widows in its luminosity. <br /><br />And his writing reveals a passion for what he is doing. I've felt that passion for writing and it can so carry us forward through both light and dark times.<br /><br />Peace.Dee Readyhttp://www.cominghometomyself.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613729047769383491.post-89082636984602790372012-01-23T08:23:35.296-06:002012-01-23T08:23:35.296-06:00Thank you so much for all your responses, from the...Thank you so much for all your responses, from the way they dance on Tony's eyes in a pleasing way, to Rita's "not my cuppa," I'm so glad you all give me your thoughts and feelings. And yes, it is so very subjective.I loved what he had to say about color in art, as it shows that there are no boundaries brought on by one's country, gender, nor the time in which one lives, but that color reaches the inner need, no matter where we find ourselves; it was his response to the idea of color touching one's soul, however it's defined, that so entranced me.Teresa Evangelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05495114564099989481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613729047769383491.post-77137914859998099742012-01-23T06:41:04.735-06:002012-01-23T06:41:04.735-06:00Yes, they do indeed make me happy and colour can b...Yes, they do indeed make me happy and colour can be such an anti-depressant.
