This portfolio documents Wassily Kandinsky's evolving, aesthetic experimentation, encompassing abstraction and apocalyptic imagery circa 1910 through the geometric compositions of the 1920s. Small Worlds IV, dating 1922, reflects his fully developed, mature, abstract manner. He stated that the medium of lithography "completely suits the spirit of our time."
