Autumn in Murnau 1908

"Autumn in Murnau" (1908) by Wassily Kandinsky is a vibrant oil painting that showcases the artist's early foray into expressionism. The landscape, painted in bold strokes of color, features a prominent tree in the foreground with a winding road leading the viewer's eye into the distance. The use of saturated hues, especially reds and blues, contributes to the dynamic and expressive nature of the work, as seen in the distinctive tree and distant hills. Kandinsky's fascination with color and form during this period is evident in this evocative portrayal of the Bavarian landscape. The painting's energy and bold color choices are a hallmark of his evolving artistic style.
