On 23 July, Kandinsky writes a letter to Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, the leader of the Italian Futurists, hoping that his authority might help protect the Bauhaus. He attempts to refute accusations of the school's "Marxist" and "Jewish" character. The letter remains unanswered. In October, following the Nazi victory in local elections, the school is forced to finally close in Dessau and relocate to Berlin, where it continues as a private institution. Kandinsky follows.
Kandinsky continues to develop his own visual language, experimenting with form and devoting more attention to subtle color combinations. Key works from this year include: DecisivePink, Unequal, White – Soft and Hard, and Fixed.
In September, a solo exhibition is held at Gummesons Konsthall in Stockholm, as well as exhibitions in Königsberg and Danzig.

I first saw it on a calender and was determined to copy it hooking rug style for a wall hanging.Done in hand dyed skirting bought from charity shops. It actually only took me 3 weeks.
