Who was the artist famous for using circles?
1 Answer
The artist who was famous for using circles was Wassily Kandinsky. The Russian-born painter and theorist dedicated his life to using abstract compositions of form and color to express deep emotion as well as to visually depict the language of music. He embraced styles such as Surrealism and Fauvism. He was a leading figure in bringing together Der Blaue Reiter in 1911, a group of avant-garde artists in Munich, including Paul Klee and Franz Marc, who explored spiritual concepts through their art as a response to the materialism of the time.
