This abstract was painted by Wassily Kandinsky in 1911. He is one of the pioneers of abstract art. He has been credited with painting one of the first purely abstract works. He graduated at Grekov Odessa are school. Wassily Kandinsky began painting studies (life-drawing, sketching and anatomy) at the age of 30. I have chosen this abstract picture because the background makes the picture stand out due to the colour effect and this also reminds me of the world from a birds eye view.
