Bringing Popular Science into Focus: Vassily Kandinsky’s Biomorphic AbstractionThis talk examines Vassily Kandinsky’s turn to a more biomorphic mode of painterly abstraction in relation to the growing prevalence of micro- and macroscopic visual technologies in 1930s France. The notion of looking in or looking through, I argue, functioned metaphorically as a means for artists to navigate the ongoing socio-economic crisis and engage with a new mode of visuality—one deeply bound up with the contemporary tools and techniques made familiar through mass media.Rachel Boate, NEH Visiting Assistant Professor of Art History, Department of Art.Refreshments will be provided.All are welcome.
