The work I chose is "Several Circles", made by Kandinsky in 1926. This work is composed with exact circles of varying sizes and light colors on a black background. There are only a few instances of dark colors or black circles besides the background. Each circle has a mostly uniform color, adding to the preciseness of the work. The black background seems to be receding around the colorful circles. 

This work seems to have a lot of depth, both visually and in its interpretation. My initial reaction was that I was consumed by the work. It provides an all-encompassing feel and an eclectic composition, with the sporadic positioning of the circles. It reminded me of the universe in a literal sense, but that led to my perspective that there was a great deal of information to respond to. Some circles overlapped severely, creating a very connected and intense area, while others were spread which gave a more relaxed feel. Overall, I think the colors that are grouped together work well together for the most part, but there are some colors that clash especially when overlapped. It creates a contrast between the colors, while still keeping a cohesive togetherness, as they are close or overlapping.
