More about this artwork

This painting by Wassily Kandinsky, titled "Arab Cavalry" from 1905, vibrantly depicts a scene filled with the movement and colors of Arab horsemen. The dynamic composition showcases figures on horseback in traditional attire, capturing the fluid motion and controlled chaos typical of cavalry. The foreground is dominated by riders on spirited horses, adorned with richly decorated saddles and harnesses, emphasizing motion and the energetic atmosphere.The background features onlookers, possibly spectators or part of a larger gathering, adding depth and context to the scene. Kandinsky's use of color and form is not strictly realistic but rather expressive, aiming to convey the feeling and essence of the cavalry's movement and the cultural vibrancy.This work comes from an earlier phase in Kandinsky's career before he moved towards complete abstraction. Here, one can see his interest in movement, color, and expression, elements that he would carry into his later, more abstract works. The painting pulses with life, illustrating not just a visual scene but also invoking the sounds and excitement that would accompany such a display.

Wassily Wassilyevich Kandinsky was a Russian painter and art theorist. Kandinsky is generally credited as the pioneer of abstract art. Born in Moscow, Kandinsky spent his childhood in Odessa, where he graduated at Grekov Odessa Art school. He enrolled at the University of Moscow, studying law and economics. Successful in his profession—he was offered a professorship (chair of Roman Law) at the University of Dorpat today Tartu, Estonia)—Kandinsky began painting studies (life-drawing, sketching and anatomy) at the age of 30.
