As you’ve probably observed by now, circles often bring friends.
They like to hang out together in pairs, collections of dots on dresses, or clustered together in nests.
The Russian artist Vasily (or Wassily) Kandinsky (1866-1944) used the circle in lots of his works.
“The circle,” claimed Kandinsky, “is the synthesis of the greatest oppositions. It combines the concentric and the eccentric in a single form and in equilibrium. Of the three primary forms, it points most clearly to the fourth dimension.”
In 1913 he painted this gorgeous collection of concentric circles:
Moving further into abstraction, we get Circles in a Circle, from 1923
And, one of my favourites, from 1926: Several Circles
