About the piece

Painted in 1908 during his time in the Bavarian town of Murnau, this striking work by Wassily Kandinsky represents a pivotal moment in the development of Expressionism. The composition utilizes a powerful palette of deep indigo, radiant yellow, and intense red, applied with thick, rhythmic brushstrokes that prioritize emotional resonance over literal representation.
