About the piece

Painted in 1908, 'The Ludwigskirche in Munich' marks a pivotal moment in Wassily Kandinsky’s journey toward abstraction. Using thick dabs of oil on cardboard, Kandinsky transforms a religious procession into a rhythmic field of light and shadow, where the figures in the foreground dissolve into a sea of brilliant primary colors against the looming dark arches of the cathedral portals.
