Improvisation 26 (Rowing) 1912

"Improvisation 26 (Rowing)" is a 1912 abstract painting by Wassily Kandinsky, a key figure in the development of abstract art. The painting, currently housed at the Lenbachhaus in Munich, Germany, is a vibrant composition of bold colors and dynamic lines. Kandinsky's use of abstract forms and energetic brushstrokes creates a sense of movement and energy, conveying a feeling of rowing through a landscape of pure color and form. This work embodies the spirit of Expressionism and exemplifies Kandinsky's exploration of non-representational art, where colors and shapes take on a life of their own, communicating emotions and sensations directly to the viewer.
