Tupac Inca Pachacuti and Vladimir Kandinsky

Lines, points and contrasts.

Abstract

Two different words are brought together disrespectfully here, on the basis of formalism and geometric passion. Both styles characterize the Incas, conquered by Spain after 1533, and the creative work of the great modern artist Wassily Kandinsky, who fled Russia after the Soviet Revolution of 1917. The patterns of weaved textiles and the sacred glows of dawn and twilight of solar religion of the Incas, may evoke the linear forms and the coming of the evening in Moscow, as well as the “vibrations of soul” of the theorist of modern painting, influenced by the orthodox religious icons and the shamanism of the subarctic Russian regions.
