Solomon R. Guggenheim

I got to feel those pictures so deeply that I wanted them to live with me.2

I am against the terms “fantasy” and “symbolism” in themselves. All our interior world is reality — and that perhaps more so than our apparent world.1

In the High Gallery

Kandinsky, who painted all of the works in this room, believed that colors and shapes could trigger different feelings and moods.

Dominant Curve has beened owned by THREE of the collectors featured in this exhibition: the painting was first purchased by Peggy Guggenheim in 1938, Peggy then sold the work to Karl Nierendorf, in 1945, who quickly sold it to Peggy’s uncle, Solomon, in 1946.
