Small White is a watercolor and gouache on paper painting by the Russian-born artist Wassily Kandinsky. It was created in 1928, during a period of relative stability and prosperity for Kandinsky. He had recently moved to Dessau, Germany, to teach at the Bauhaus art school, and he was enjoying a flourishing career.

Small White is a relatively small painting, measuring just 18.9 x 24.8 centimeters. However, the painting is packed with energy and movement. 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 red, yellow, blue, and green. 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 right 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.

Small White is a playful and joyous 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.

Small White 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 1920s.

The painting is also significant because it was created during a period of great personal happiness for Kandinsky. He had recently married Nina Andreyevskaya, and they were expecting their first child. Kandinsky's joy and optimism are evident in the painting's bright colors and playful composition.

Small White 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.
