Rotterdam sun 1906

"Rotterdam Sun" (1906) by Wassily Kandinsky, depicts a harbor scene with ships and a cityscape in the background. The painting showcases a transition in Kandinsky's style, moving away from his Impressionist roots. It captures the essence of the scene with broad brushstrokes and a focus on the interplay of light and color. The choppy, dynamic water and the contrasting colors in the ships create a sense of energy and movement. Although the composition is somewhat representational, it hints at the abstract expressionism that Kandinsky would later pioneer.
