Kandinsky: Small Worlds Paperweight from The Met Museum

Add a graphic burst of color and energy to your desk. The motif references a woodcut print entitled Kleine Welten VII (Small Worlds VII) (1922) from the portfolio Kleine Welten (Small Worlds) (1922) by Vasily Kandinsky (French, b. Russia, 1866-1944). Kandinsky was an early and vigorous advocate for abstraction in art, considering the style a kind of spiritual language. He created this portfolio while teaching at the Bauhaus, the influential German art and design school founded in 1919.
