It got me to thinking about Russian landscapes; Russia because of our heritage and also because winter is long there; and Russia has a great fine arts tradition. I googled (in images) "Russia winter landscape paintings" and Kadinsky's piece was the most intriguing on the first page.Bilbo from Californiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256378477206544839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8227448234251304484.post-42357843992587303202012-01-18T13:51:35.730-08:002012-01-18T13:51:35.730-08:00Thanks for the link to the great Kandinsky paintin...Thanks for the link to the great Kandinsky painting. Did you already know this painting or did you find it in a google search? His painting strikes me as more peaceful than the Malevich painting, perhaps the softer shapes he uses. But both paintings certainly choose a daring color palate for a winter scene. They succeed in including reds and blues and yellows, and yet still giving the feeling of snow.Alexishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13206198486088333682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8227448234251304484.post-32266826931273085742012-01-18T07:31:40.943-08:002012-01-18T07:31:40.943-08:00Malevich's is particularly neat because of the...Malevich's is particularly neat because of the strong geometric forms and surprising use of color. Wassily Kadinski (also Russian) painted a similarly colorful winter landscape: http://zolotoivek.tumblr.com/post/10346001065/wassily-kandinsky-winter-landscape-1909.<br /><br />Love the blog,<br />- abbaBilbo from Californiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256378477206544839noreply@blogger.com
