Vasily Kandinsky vs. Rebecca Purdum

Kandisnky's Swinging

To me Kandinsky and Rebecca Purdum are both artists who have styles that i like and enjoy. They are similar in the sense that the paintings are a bit abstract. Kandinsky's painting are perhaps extremely abstract whereas Purdum's painting may be abstract. In Purdum's Painting titled Chin Up, the images are vague and blurry. You can't exactly tell if it's really abstract. If your eyes are blurry, you can see images but they are hard to make out; it's realistic. If what you think you see is actually something else then i guess that can be abstract.
I like the fact that in Kandinsky's work it's the complete basics of art. What i mean is that it's strictly lines, shapes and colors (well all art is shapes and colors) however this shapes are apparent. They are basic shapes like circles, triangles, squares. Yet even with such basic geometrical shapes he conveys so much emotion. Like the book says, music is just sounds and pitches and art is just shapes and colors. However, both convey intense emotion. I think that Kandinskys shapes and colors go hand in hand with music. They both convey intense emotion with just the basis for what it is. Through basic shapes and colors you can feel happiness, sadness, etc... The idea and concept is there and it's easy to feel it.
On the other hand, like the book says, Purdum's art is like an idea is about to take form but never really does. I feel like it could be related to her special family members.  There will always be a communication boundary between them that they can't fully overcome. It shows in her style of painting. I feel her style communicates that boundary. Between the viewer's eyes and her works there is an idea in which we want to grasp. We can see it but it's vague and hard to make out and therefore we each might interpret it differently. There's meaning and feelings behind her work but it's portrayed in a way that makes it hard to fully grasp. The beauty of it is that one person may feel differently about her painting than another.
Both artists have completely different styles however they both convey intense emotion. I like them both because they are both a bit abstract. I love the vibrant colors and shapes Kandinsky paints as it makes me feel like the painting is alive. In Purdum's works i like the feeling of having an idea yet not completely being able to grasp it. It relates entirely to my life in the sense that there's always uncertainty and things that i'll never fully understand. However, there's always my ability to achieve an idea and from that idea i can expand and come up with my own answers. In this sense, i feel like Kandinsky's paintings are more like "answers" for me and Purdum's are more like "questions."
