Projects Diagram 17 White Watch

The Diagram 17 White Watch from Projects draws its inspiration from a drawing of the same name by Wassily Kandinsky in 1925. Kandinsky’s creation of abstract work came within the later part of his career.

The Diagram 17 Watch has influences stemming from Gestalt psychology. Gestalt tries to understand the laws of our ability to acquire and maintain meaningful perceptions in an apparently chaotic world. Kandinsky examines the effects of forces on straight lines and contrasting tones of curved and angled lines. This coincides with the research of Gestalt psychologists. Geometrical elements take on importance in both this teaching and Kandinsky's painting. It utilizes the circle, half-circle, the angle, straight lines and curves. “Of all the arts, abstract painting is the most difficult. It demands that you know how to draw well, that you have a heightened sensitivity for composition and for colors, and that you be a true poet. This last is essential.”
