About this work

Artist: Wassily Kandinsky (1866–1944)
Year: 1926
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 100.5 × 80.5 cm
Collection: Centre Pompidou, Musée National d'Art Moderne, Paris
Movement: Abstract art

Against a dark blue-black ground, a tilted cream-yellow square fills most of the canvas, and on and around it float circles: a large pink disc with a soft red halo at upper right, dark green and black discs, smaller dots of red, yellow, blue and violet, and a grey square at the centre packed with its own black and white circles. The halos make the discs seem to glow against the night-coloured ground. Kandinsky painted it in Dessau in 1926, the year he published Point and Line to Plane, his Bauhaus treatise on the basic elements of painting. It is one of a run of mid-1920s canvases built from circles floating in space, often read as cosmic or planetary. Nina Kandinsky gave the painting to the Musée National d'Art Moderne in Paris in 1976, and it is in the collection of the Centre Pompidou.

This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.

Where it works

Glowing pink, green and black circles floating on a pale square against a night-blue ground, for a bedroom, living room or child's room at 24×36 in natural wood. A navy, deep grey or blush wall; it pairs with Contrasting Sounds.

Size. We'd hang this one at 24×36. Prints at 12×18, 16×24, 24×36 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway; 24×36 as the statement piece above a sofa or bed.

Framing. Exhibition posters sit best in a slim black frame with no mat — the typeset margin is the mat.

Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.

Is Accent in Pink in the public domain?

Yes. Wassily Kandinsky (1866–1944) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Centre Pompidou.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; every size is also offered framed in black or natural wood, with plexiglass and no mat. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Accent in Pink painted, and in what medium?

Accent in Pink dates from 1926 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 100.5 × 80.5 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pair. For Accent in Pink we'd choose 24×36.
