Kandinsky saw a path of the new art as a necessary transition from the depiction of the external forms of the world to their inner content. He sought to express his feelings through artistic means rather than through objective forms or a particular subject matter. He achieved a certain emotional response from the audience using only colors, lines and abstract shapes. The narrative content, - an integral feature of figurative art, is absent here. Instead of the usual genres, Kandinsky distinguished between impression, improvisation and composition. Impression is an expression of direct impressions of the external, or "outer nature." Improvisation is an expression of inner processes that occur suddenly, mostly unconsciously - an impression of "inner nature." Composition is a synthesis of impressions of both "outer" and "inner" nature. Improvisation 7 is one of the artist's early works. Figurative forms here seem to dissolve in the movement of planes and lines, whose colors are matched in a highly elaborate way.

Allen: Colours don't match the original at all. Here they are much more dark and brownish..

nicola perkins: This famous piece helps the viewer connect with their inner feelings, as Wassily Kandinsky has used his interior ideas to inspire this true piece of art which, in turn, forces him to leave reality behind. These paintings belong in a different reality, one not related to the phenominal world we exist in.
