Soft Trifles is an oil on canvas painting by the Russian-born artist Wassily Kandinsky. It was created in 1937, during Kandinsky's exile in Paris, France. 

It is a complex and multilayered painting. The composition is dominated by a series of overlapping and intersecting geometric shapes, including circles, triangles, and squares. The shapes are rendered in a variety of bright colors, including reds, yellows, greens, and blues. The painting also features a number of calligraphic lines and symbols.

While the painting is abstract, it is still possible to discern some representational elements. In the center of the painting, there is a figure that appears to be a bird. In the upper left corner, there is a figure that appears to be a horse and rider. However, these figures are not clearly defined, and they are integrated into the overall abstract composition.

Soft Trifles is a lyrical and expressive painting. It reflects Kandinsky's interest in the relationship between color, form, and music. The painting is also a testament to Kandinsky's skill as a colorist and his mastery of abstract composition.

Soft Trifles is a significant painting for a number of reasons. First, it is one of Kandinsky's most lyrical and expressive abstract paintings. Second, the painting showcases Kandinsky's mastery of color and form. Third, the painting is a testament to Kandinsky's continued commitment to abstraction, even in the face of the growing popularity of realism and other figurative art styles during the 1930s.

The painting is also significant because it was created during a period of great political and social turmoil in Europe. Kandinsky was forced to flee Germany in 1933 due to the Nazi rise to power. He eventually settled in Paris, where he lived until his death in 1944. Despite the challenges he was facing, Kandinsky continued to create art, and Soft Trifles is one of the finest examples of his work from this period.

Soft Trifles is a beautiful and uplifting painting. It is a testament to Kandinsky's genius as an artist and his ability to create art that is both visually appealing and emotionally resonant.

The title of the painting is somewhat enigmatic. It is possible that Kandinsky was referring to the soft and delicate colors that he used in the painting. It is also possible that he was referring to the playful and whimsical nature of the painting's composition. Whatever Kandinsky's intention, the title of the painting perfectly captures the painting's mood and atmosphere.

Soft Trifles is a masterpiece of abstract art. It is a testament to Kandinsky's genius as an artist and his ability to create art that is both visually appealing and emotionally resonant. The painting is a must-see for anyone interested in abstract art or in the work of Wassily Kandinsky.
