Several Circles is an abstract painting created by the Russian-born artist Wassily Kandinsky in 1926. Kandinsky, a pioneer of abstract art, is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in modern art. This particular work is an exemplary piece from his later period, during which he explored geometric abstraction and the spiritual qualities of shapes and colors.

The painting, executed in oil on canvas, measures 140 cm by 140 cm (approximately 55 inches by 55 inches). It is characterized by its composition of overlapping and intersecting circles of various sizes and colors, set against a dark, almost black background. The circles appear to float in space, creating a sense of depth and movement. Kandinsky's use of vibrant colors and precise geometry reflects his interest in the emotional and symbolic potential of abstract forms.

Kandinsky believed that shapes and colors could evoke specific emotions and spiritual experiences. In his theoretical writings, such as Concerning the Spiritual in Art (1911), he described the circle as a particularly significant form, symbolizing unity, infinity, and the cosmos. Several Circles exemplifies these ideas, as the arrangement of the circles suggests a harmonious and dynamic balance, evoking a sense of the infinite and the universal.

This painting was created during Kandinsky's time at the Bauhaus, a progressive art and design school in Germany where he taught from 1922 to 1933. At the Bauhaus, Kandinsky collaborated with other influential artists and architects, including Paul Klee and László Moholy-Nagy, and further developed his theories on abstraction and the relationship between art and spirituality. The geometric precision and clarity of Several Circles reflect the Bauhaus emphasis on combining artistic expression with rational design principles.

Today, Several Circles is part of the permanent collection of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City. It is considered one of Kandinsky's masterpieces and a significant example of abstract art in the 20th century. The painting continues to be celebrated for its innovative use of form and color, as well as its ability to convey profound emotional and spiritual resonance through purely abstract means.
