In Kandinsky's work Decisive Pink (1932), his extensive use of simple geometric shapes and colors in the Bauhaus period of his artistic career is displayed fully. Like many of his other works during this period, he composes with circles, half-circles, triangles, rectangles, straight lines and curves. He also used very simple patterns and colors in each shape. The soft colors, in contrast with the large amount of black and white, "calm" the composition. All the shapes appear to be on the same plane due to a lack of overlapping except for the pink rectangle in the middle left; the very withdraw of dimension moves the eyes towards the "decisive pink" region. The pink square, the most significant feature of the composition both due to its color and size, is placed behind the triangle and other shapes, hiding yet stating its presence. The upward triangles give the composition a direction towards the top, which in turn gives off energy. The combinations of shapes to form balance also stabilize the composition despite the scattering of the shapes.
