'On the Points' is a masterpiece by the Russian painter and art theorist, Wassily Wassilyevich Kandinsky. Known for his pioneering contributions to Western Abstract art, Kandinsky created this piece using Oil on Canvas. True to his Abstract style, 'On the Points' features non-representational forms to express his theories of aesthetics and art. The painting began to take form partway through his career and stands as a testament to his position as a leading figure in abstract modernism.
