Tbilisi's Museum of Fine Arts has invited art enthusiasts to see Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky's two major paintings, including his first abstract piece, at the venue after the works recently returned from an European tour.
Kandinsky's 1911 painting Picture With a Circle and his 1920 work Black Dash are now part of the Masterpieces of Fine Arts Museum collection and can be viewed in its exhibition hall.
The 1911 piece is seen as expressionist Kandinsky's first work in abstraction, and was considered lost by art historians in past. It has been preserved at the Georgian National Museum archives since the late 1930s.

Curator Nino Khundadze told Georgian Public Broadcaster reporters "no large-scale exhibition" on Kandinsky's creative work would be held throughout the world today without the two pieces of the Fine Arts Museum collection.
Picture With a Circle and Black Dash were on display for viewers at the Milan Museum of Culture (MUDEC) in Italy from March through July 10.
Exhibited as part of Wassily Kandinsky Retrospective Exhibition at MUDEC, the paintings were previously displayed at the Paris' famed Centre Georges Pompidou and the Solomon Guggenheim Museum in New York.
