About the piece

Painted in 1903, this early masterpiece by Wassily Kandinsky captures the North Cemetery in Munich. Using a heavy impasto technique, Kandinsky transforms the somber subject into a vibrant tapestry of deep greens and earthy tones, punctuated by the bright white of monuments. This piece showcases the artist's early exploration of atmosphere and tactile surface, bridging the gap between impressionism and his later abstract expressionist style.
