First Abstract Watercolor

Thu Bui

Wassily Kandinsky left this artwork unnamed. It was a study for his 1913 painting Composition VII. The work's proper title is Untitled (Study for Composition VII, Premiere Abstraction). The painting is currently recognized as the First Abstract Watercolor because many consider it to be the first totally abstract watercolor. While this is not always the case, it is undeniable that this picture is among the first to abandon any references to well-known forms in Western European painting's representational history. It is the first existing item in Kandinsky's parallel series of abstract "Compositions" and "Improvisations."


Though critics do not consider it one of his best works, First Abstract Watercolor is undoubtedly one of Kandinsky's most renowned paintings; the one that has earned him the title "Father of Abstract Act" in public view.
