About the piece

Painted in 1903, this evocative landscape showcases Wassily Kandinsky's early transition toward Expressionism through its thick, rhythmic brushstrokes and grounded palette. The scene depicts the resort town of Binz on the island of Rügen, where small figures wander the shoreline beneath a line of white villas perched on a darkened ridge. The play of light and shadow across the impasto surface creates a tactile, historic presence.
