About the piece
Created in 1905, this striking street scene by Wassily Kandinsky captures the architectural character of Tunis through bold, textured brushwork. The painting showcases a mastery of light and shadow, using a vibrant palette of purples, greys, and whites that predates the artist's later shift into pure abstraction, offering a sophisticated piece of early 20th-century modernism.
