In 1919–20, Kandinsky wrote a series of articles focused on various facets of modern art. One of these essays, “On Line,” inspired the title of this exhibition. Elaborating on themes broached there, the artist made this drawing and thirty-seven others as illustrations for his 1926 Bauhaus book Punkt und Linie zu Fläche (Point and line to plane), a treatise declaring the three nouns of its title to be the basic elements of art.
