Zubovsky Platz 1916

"Zubovsky Platz" painted in 1916 by Wassily Kandinsky, portrays an aerial view of a city street. The scene, likely inspired by Kandinsky's time in Moscow, utilizes bold strokes and vibrant colors characteristic of his Expressionist style. The flatness of the planes and the simplified forms suggest the influence of Cubism, a movement that emphasized geometric abstraction. Kandinsky's artistic vision shifts away from realistic depiction, emphasizing a more abstract and emotional interpretation of the cityscape.
