Houses at Murnau 1909

"Houses at Murnau" is a 1909 oil painting by Wassily Kandinsky. This artwork is an example of Kandinsky's transition from representational painting to abstract art. He experimented with color and form, creating a vibrant and expressive scene with simplified shapes that echo the forms of buildings and landscape features. The painting is notable for its bold use of color, particularly its rich yellows, blues, and greens, and for its dynamic composition that conveys a sense of movement and energy. It is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, Illinois.
