During the period of 1925-1932, Kandinsky continued to explore geometry and its ordering principles as well as spatial illusions and their ambiguities. "Kandinsky's imagery of structure, geometric shapes and arrangements and space reflected tendencies at the Bauhaus and the constructivist movement in Germany. The architectual and technological orientation of the later Bauhaus, particularly in evidence after the architecture department was instituted under Meyer in the spring of 1927, prompted him to create images of structures made up of simple geometric elements." (exh. cat., Kandinsky and Bauhaus, Years 1915-1955, New York, 1983, p. 73).
