Historical Context:
The original of this piece, done by Vasily Kandinsky in 1913, can be seen at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, New York. Kandinsky was a Russian painter and art theorist. He is credited with painting the first modern abstract works. He was known as one of the great masters of modern art, as well as the outstanding representative of pure abstract painting (using only colors and forms) that dominated the first half of the twentieth century.
