Wassily Kandinsky's Gravitation (1935; Paris, France) exemplifies his mastery of Abstract art. The work features dynamic geometric shapes and bold colors that evoke a sense of movement and force, suggesting the influence of Abstract principles.

Gravitation showcases his exploration of the invisible forces that govern physical and metaphysical worlds, creating a visceral sense of abstract energy and tension.
