Colin Macleod: I have read that this represents the creativity and light of Democracy on the left contrasted to the darkness and chaos of Fascism on the Right.03 September 2020
Bradford Robert McCormick: I love cats. WK had a cat. Cats enjoy being content and happy. They are not generally useful although they can be (there was a cat who saved a little boy from a dog attack, e.g.). Kandinsky's art is feline, except that cats can't generally express their peace and joy in paintings.28 April 2020
jHONY S?NS: Suprematizm, s?n?rl? bir renk yelpazesinde temel geometrik formlar? tasvir etmeye odaklanm?? bir Rus sanat hareketi idi. Bauhaus, Almanya’da 20. y?zy?l sanat?nda b?y?k bir etkisi olan ve Kandinsky’nin 1922’den 1933’e kadar ??retti?i modernist bir sanat okuluydu. Bauhaus’taki zamanlar?nda Kandinsky taraf?ndan boyanan Sar?-K?rm?z?-Mavi, yaratt??? bir senfoni olarak g?r?lebilir. Solda geometrik ?ekiller ve parlak renkler, sa?daki soyut ?ekiller ve koyu renkler ile iki b?l?me ayr?labilir.22 April 2019
Dagmar from nj: New to this artist but this painting (mine's a print) spoke to me. I'm loving it. But isn't that what it's all about?!24 March 2019
Lisa: I feel like the soft colors represented around the mouth area of the person represents the words we anticipate speaking, yet present themselves spoken by the black lines that pertrude from the mouth area and show the value of words cutting through the boundary of the half circle which represents the lasting effect of things spoken powerfully. There is also a very clear line that separates awake conscienceness and things dreamed. They flow together yet separate at the same time as one is not always aware.
There are three objects at the bottom right hand corner. Two of them ( the round dot and the tic-tac-toe) are equal to each other while the four lined object seems to “push” the tic-tax-toe concept closer to the boundary of the dream state conscience. Will they be manifest or will they not?
Lovely painting!

Charlie-C from Scotland, UK: I have a hand woven carpet of this "composition" on my wall at present.My take on it is that on the left, it is a human, with all sensory organs open to information. This information (data/experience/emotion) is then "processed" on the right hand side of the painting, going through a myriad of processes, and condensed into a single memory in the bottom RHS of the painting. The circles (almost ghost like figures) on the right, are a kind of "soul" or "moral/higher intelligence/deep emotion" that influence the memory of a single event that is then embedded in our mind/brain.My opinion only not backed up by anything other that having viewed this painting for at least a couple of decades.

Liz from United States: So, I was wondering if this painting could possible be upside down as well. It seems like it was intended to be a cat? I would like additional information as well.31 August 2014
Thabi from South Africa: you guys are all awesome, I've just had a good laugh. To all those who think like Taco and Gyanendra, you just need to understand that this is basically art, thats why it's call abstract art, its not there for you to understand. It is sound. You can interpret it in yo own way, just know that Kandinsky was apparently listening to music when he did this masterpiece.05 May 2014
