Vasily Kandinsky, "Decisive Rose"

An interesting 1932 painting by Wassily (Vasily) Kandinsky, located at the Guggenheim. The title, Decisive Rose ( Entscheidendes rosa) is sometimes rendered incorrectly as Decision Pink. The altered version below is probably the result of a digital edit, which has blotted out some of the detail and added a bright yellow cast that isn't evident in the original. Not too much of a difference, but in general, if a questionable post offers a location, and the website is easily accessed, it's worth taking a moment to grab a first-hand photo.
