About the piece

Created in 1902, 'Old Town II' is a masterclass in early expressionist color and light. Wassily Kandinsky employs thick, impasto-like brushstrokes to depict a peaceful European town nestled in the countryside. The composition leads the eye from the sunlit path in the foreground toward the historic towers and rooftops, showcasing the artist's bridge from Impressionist influences toward his later abstraction.
