About the piece

Painted in 1902, this early work by Wassily Kandinsky captures Kochel Lake with the intense, tactile energy of his nascent expressionist style. The composition contrasts the pale, choppy surface of the water and a rustic wooden pier with the deep, brooding silhouettes of the surrounding mountains, rendered in thick, confident strokes.
