H’ART Museum: Kandinsky
The H'ART Museum, formerly known as the Hermitage Amsterdam, reopened its doors with a stunning exhibition dedicated to world-renowned Russian/Ukrainian painter Wassily Kandinsky.
Kandinsky had a revolutionary spirit in which he believed abstract art was the highest form of creative expression, a kind of language of emotion accessible to all. Interestingly, this maestro did not put his brush to the palette until the age of 30, when he was already leading a successful professional life as a university lecturer in law and economics. But once he did, he was unstoppable and became one of the founding fathers of modern art.
Just before the Hermitage Amsterdam closed itself as a protest against the invasion of Ukraine, we had set up a Kandinsky-inspired pattern to make several products. Two years later, we still developed these Kandinsky products but for this exhibition: rain hats, cotton hats, socks, bikeseat covers and big shoppers.
