"It is a link with the cosmic. But I use it, above all, formally. …Why does the circle fascinate me? It is: 1. the most modest form, but asserts itself unconditionally, 2. a precise, but inexhaustible variable, 3. simultaneously stable and unstable, 4. simultaneously loud and soft, 5. a single tension that carries countless tensions within it. The circle is the synthesis of the greatest oppositions. It combines the concentric and the eccentric in a single form, and in equilibrium. Of the three primary forms [triangle, circle, square], it points most clearly to the fourth dimension."
[Vasily Kandinsky (Russian, 1866–1944), Heavy Circles, 1927, Oil on canvas, Norton Simon Museum, The Blue Four Galka Scheyer Collection]
