Houses at Murnau, 1909: A Masterpiece of Early Expressionism
Wassily Kandinsky's Houses at Murnau, painted in 1909, captures the vibrant energy of the Bavarian town where he spent summers with his companion Gabriele Münter. This work marks a pivotal moment in Kandinsky's transition from Impressionism to abstraction, showcasing his bold use of color and simplified forms. The houses, rendered in bright yellows, reds, and blues, seem to pulsate with life against the lush green landscape. Kandinsky's technique here reflects his growing interest in the spiritual and emotional power of color, a concept he later codified in his influential treatise Concerning the Spiritual in Art.
