I commissioned six abstract expressionist reproductions and was extremely impressed with the quality and artistic detail. The paintings are truly breathtaking.
The customer service experience was excellent and I was provided with previews prior to shipping.
The paintings were packed very carefully and delivered to the UK on time exactly as promised with fantastic efficiency.
I will certainly be using this company again in the future!!
Its difficult to know what to expect when you commission a painting online. But when the package arrived, expertly sealed in a wooden crate, I was absolutely blown away.
The paintings were simply perfect. Exactly like the originals. A real gift and treasure. I will use HandmadePiece again and refer my friends. Thank you for exceeding all expectations!

Kandinsky regarded Composition VIII as the high point of his postwar achievement.
In this work circles, triangles, and linear elements create a surface of interacting geometric forms. The importance of circles in this painting foreshadows the dominant role they would play in many subsequent works.
There appears to be no logic in the imagery; the components do not "respond" to each other; no organic continuity is evident and no psychological associations are evoked. Comparable to the sublime humor of a divertimento, the elements - although they seem to be strictly geometric - actually deviate from their mathematically defined shapes.
Kandinsky evolved an abstract style that reflected the utopian artistic experiments of the Russian avant-garde. The emphasis on geometric forms, promoted by artists such as Kazimir Malevich, sought to establish a universal aesthetic language. Although Kandinsky adopted some of the geometric aspects of Suprematism and Constructivism, his belief in the expressive content of abstract forms alienated him from his Russian colleagues. Kandinsky's work synthesized Russian avant-garde art with a lyrical abstraction that includes dynamic compositional elements, resembling mountains, sun, and atmosphere that still refer to the landscape. This conflict led him to return to Germany.
