Various Actions (Various Actions) of the1928 belongs to the period in which Kandinsky, influenced by the Bauhaus environment, explored an abstract language based on rigorous geometric forms and dynamic relationships between lines, colours and proportions. The work appears as a complex system of elements in motion: dots, segments, circles and triangular figures converse with one another, creating a kind of visual choreography. The forms seem to take part in a series of multiple “actions” – hence the title – suggesting interactions, tensions and encounters within the pictorial space. The colours, precisely measured, have not only aesthetic value but represent energetic forces in balance.
The composition recalls an abstract mechanism or a musical score, in which each element plays a specific role within the whole. Various Actions reveals Kandinsky's desire to transform abstraction into a structured language capable of evoking dynamism, order and a subtle geometric spirituality.
