Step into the world of early abstraction with Composition IV Cross Stitch Pattern by Wassily Kandinsky, a groundbreaking masterpiece of Expressionism and early abstract art. This full-coverage, fine art cross-stitch pattern captures the dynamic energy and flowing movement that defined Kandinsky’s revolutionary vision.
Painted in 1911, Composition IV was part of Kandinsky’s exploration of art as a universal language of emotion — color and form freed from the constraints of realism. The overlapping curves, bold contrasts, and rhythmic composition evoke harmony and tension, much like a musical symphony.
Each stitch reinterprets this Modernist landmark, transforming its swirling hues and expressive geometry into a textile symphony of light and motion. Celebrate one of modern art’s most important works — a piece that redefined painting, now brought to life through the beauty of thread and color.
