Bring modern art to life in vivid thread with Red Oval Cross Stitch Pattern by Wassily Kandinsky. Painted in 1920, this striking composition marks Kandinsky’s mature Bauhaus period, where form, color, and geometry combine in a harmonious visual language. Floating circles, sharp angles, and intersecting lines orbit the central red oval — a symbol of motion, energy, and emotional depth.
Wassily Kandinsky (1866 – 1944), often regarded as the father of abstract art, believed that color and shape could communicate emotion as powerfully as music. His Red Oval embodies that philosophy, radiating rhythm and balance while inviting interpretation and introspection.
This museum-quality, full-coverage, fine art cross-stitch pattern allows you to experience Kandinsky’s abstract brilliance in thread form. The design includes regular and large-print charts, five finished size options, clear step-by-step instructions, and a floss amount conversion chart for effortless planning. Perfect for experienced stitchers and art enthusiasts, Red Oval offers a captivating exploration of color harmony, form, and modernist design.
