"The Singer" is a vivid example of abstract art that reflects Expressionism, a movement synonymous with Kandinsky's work. The painting departs considerably from Genre painting, instead utilizing abstract concepts to depict emotion rather than tangible reality. Kandinsky's paintings did not typically employ traditional methods like Woodcut, preferring to use free form and color to communicate mood. "The Singer" further cements Kandinsky's place as a pioneer of abstract art by intertwining feelings and music in an intricate display rooted in Expressionism.
