About the piece

Created in 1914, 'Little Painting with Yellow' showcases Wassily Kandinsky's revolutionary approach to non-representational art. This work is a rhythmic 'improvisation' where warm yellow tones anchor a whirlwind of expressive brushstrokes and geometric motifs, reflecting the artist's belief in the spiritual power of color and composition to evoke emotion without the need for literal subjects.
