More about this artwork

The painting titled "Murnau, Burggrabenstrasse 1, 1908" by Wassily Kandinsky is a vivid and texturally rich portrayal of a street scene in Murnau, a town located in Bavaria, Germany. Created in 1908, this artwork is a remarkable example of Kandinsky's transition from representational painting to his more abstract and expressive works that he would develop later.In this painting, we observe a street lined with colorful houses, the architecture rendered with bold, simplified forms that suggest the outlines of buildings rather than detailing them precisely. The houses are painted in a palette of bright yellows, blues, and pinks, contrasting sharply with the dark tones used for the street and the deep blue and black of the night sky, which suggests a time of day just after sunset or during early night.The composition is dynamically angled, with the street receding into the depth of the painting, leading the viewer's eye towards a cluster of homes at the focal point. The use of perspective and the angular lines lend a sense of movement and depth to the scene. The brushwork is expressive and loose, contributing to the vibrancy and energy of the painting.Kandinsky’s use of color is particularly striking.

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.
