Read the full product descriptionBehauptend (1926) by Wassily Kandinsky introduces a poised yet pulsing world of pure geometry, where line, color, and form assert themselves without reference to the visible world. Created during Kandinsky’s Bauhaus years and often translated as “Asserting,” the title aligns with the painting’s confident orchestration of circles, squares, and triangles—each element set into dynamic conversation by crisp black lines and modulated color fields. In this mature phase, Kandinsky distilled his ideas about the expressive and spiritual possibilities of abstraction into a precise, geometric language that still feels startlingly contemporary.
This listing offers a museum-quality fine art print of Behauptend, produced on your choice of acid-free archival paper or artist’s cotton canvas. Each print is crafted with pigment inks for faithful color and long-lasting vibrancy, available in a range of sizes from frame-ready formats to statement-making large scales. The Unique Maps Co. also offers optional framing, personalized captions, custom margins, and other bespoke touches to help you tailor the piece perfectly to your space.
Wassily Kandinsky (1866–1944) stands among the foremost pioneers of abstract art, known for replacing recognizable subject matter with a visual grammar of points, lines, and planes. His teaching and writing—especially during his Bauhaus tenure—helped shape 20th-century design and aesthetics. Behauptend emerges from this fertile period, when his non-objective language became increasingly structured, exploring how geometry and color could communicate emotion and order with clarity.
The painting’s significance lies in its elegant tension between chaos and control. A grid-like motif surfaces within a central block, signaling a hidden armature beneath the composition’s lively arrangement. This underlying order allows the shapes to feel both disciplined and alive, mirroring the broader ambitions of early 20th-century Geometric Abstraction to refine art to its essential elements. The result is a work that resonates on intellectual and emotional levels, bridging theory and sensation.
Visually, Behauptend is anchored by cool blues and greens, energized by notes of pink and yellow, and stabilized by passages of black, white, and grey. Smooth, flat color planes share space with assertive linear contours, so that delicate tonal modulations sit beside sharply defined edges. Circles soften the dialogue of triangles and squares, while vivid contrasts keep the eye moving. This balance of crisp geometry and lyrical color makes the print a compelling focal point for modern, minimalist, or mid-century interiors—and a timeless example of how abstraction can transform a room’s atmosphere with quiet authority.
As a gift, this Kandinsky print is a sophisticated choice for birthdays, housewarmings, graduations, or holidays such as Christmas, Mother’s Day, and Father’s Day. It’s especially meaningful for design lovers, architects, and anyone drawn to Bauhaus-era clarity—an enduring statement piece that rewards repeated viewing.
If you're not sure what size to order, or you're looking for a custom order of some kind – a different size, a different colour, a special frame – then please contact me. I usually respond within a few minutes.
You can see an example of my fine art personalisation service in the fifth image. Zoom in and take a look. My personalised artwork is always very well received. Take a look at more examples of personalisation.
You can also choose to age your art print to make it look older. This is popular amongst my customers who want their artwork to look like an older, antique print. You can see an example of ageing in the sixth product image, or go ahead and check out lots of examples of other aged artwork.
The model in the listing images is holding the 16x20in (40x50cm) version of this art print.
I can print and frame this beautiful piece of art at sizes up to 3 metres (10ft). If you are looking for a size or framing option that isn't available online, please get in touch.
This artwork is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. My standard frames come in six colours (black, dark brown, dark grey, antique gold, oak and white), and custom framing is available for an additional charge. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.
This artwork is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The work is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present an art print without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas art and explore the differences between my different finishes.

Our standard frame is a gallery-style black ash hardwood frame, with a simple, modern look. It is approximately 20mm (0.8in) wide. You can also view some lovely customer photos of framed maps and art.
We use super-clear acrylic glazing, also known as Perspex or Acrylite, instead of traditional glass. It is lighter, safer, and has lower reflectivity, giving the artwork a clearer, cleaner appearance.
Six standard frame colours are available at no extra cost: black, dark brown, dark grey, oak, white, and antique gold. Custom framing and mounting/matting is also available for customers looking for something more specific.
Most maps, art prints, and illustrations are also available as a framed canvas. We use matte cotton canvas, stretch it over a sustainably sourced wooden box frame, and then float the piece within a wooden outer frame. The finished result is beautifully presented, with no glazing between you and the artwork.
All frames are supplied ready to hang, with either string or brackets fitted to the back. Very large frames will include heavy-duty hanging plates and/or a mounting baton. If you have any questions, please get in touch.
We can also supply old maps and artwork on canvas, foam board, cotton rag, and other materials.
If you would prefer to frame your map or artwork yourself, please read our size guide before ordering.
My maps are extremely high quality reproductions of original maps.
I source original, rare maps from libraries, auction houses and private collections around the world, restore them at my London workshop, and then use specialist giclée inks and printers to create beautiful maps that look even better than the original.
My maps are printed on acid-free archival matte (not glossy) paper that feels very high quality and almost like card. In technical terms the paper weight/thickness is 10mil/200gsm. It's perfect for framing.
I print with Epson ultrachrome giclée UV fade resistant pigment inks - some of the best inks you can find.
I can also make maps on canvas, cotton rag and other exotic materials.

Get in touch if you're looking for more complex customisations and personalisations.
Map ageing
I have been asked hundreds of times over the years by customers if they could buy a map that looks even older.
Well, now you can, by selecting Aged before you add a map to your basket.
All the product photos you see on this page show the map in its Original form. This is what the map looks like today.
If you select Aged, I will age your map by hand, using a special and unique process developed through years of studying old maps, talking to researchers to understand the chemistry of aging paper, and of course... lots of practice!
If you're unsure, stick to the Original colour of the map. If you want something a bit darker and older looking, go for Aged.
