Circles In a Circle

Intersection at 
Center of the Great Circle
No breaking through the black line

Are they circles though?
Or people in the center
Fleeing or huddling or still

Motion can't be seen 
Motivation can't be known 
Not circles. Not people. Eyes.

GREAT choice, Andrew! I love Kandinsky's colorful abstracts, that hearken masters like Chagall and Picasso, but have their own life and style. He is unafraid to explore bright, solid colors and shapes, and often goes to distinct angles and contrasts that many artists avoid. I love that, and love your wonderful tribute! Well-earned - congrats!

Wow, Andrew! I can almost see you staring at the painting and coming to your wonderful conclusion! It was when I read it out loud that I had that aha moment!
