'Improvisation 11' is a striking piece of Abstract art by famed artist Wassily Kandinsky, and an epitome of Kandinsky's love for the Abstract. His second wife, Nina Kandinsky, preserved and promoted his works posthumously. The pulsating composition of 'Improvisation 11', created using oil on a canvas, strikes with its fluidity, rhythm, and a riot of colors that appear to dance and sing on the canvas. Nina Kandinsky's strong commitment to her husband's legacy made possible its visibility and recognition beyond continental boundaries.
