Composition X, painted by Russian émigré artist Wassily Kandinsky while living near Paris in 1939, is an extraordinary example of Abstract art. Dominated by a psychedelic mix of colors and shapes, the painting epitomizes Kandinsky's exploration of the emotional and spiritual dimensions of art which falls under the classification of Abstract. Now housed in the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen in Düsseldorf, Germany, Composition X serves as a testament to the profound effect aesthetic elements can have in transcending the limits of perceptual reality.
