About the piece

Created in 1908, this work represents Wassily Kandinsky's seminal period in Murnau, where he began to move away from naturalism toward pure expression. The composition uses high-contrast shadows and saturated yellows and blues to evoke a sense of movement and energy in the Bavarian street scene.
