About the piece

Created in 1917, this expressive landscape by Wassily Kandinsky depicts the artist's surroundings in Akhtyrka. The work showcases Kandinsky's masterful transition into abstraction, using a bold, non-naturalistic palette and energetic brushwork to translate the Russian countryside into a luminous arrangement of light and color.
