Arab cavalry 1905

"Arab Cavalry" is a 1905 painting by Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky. The piece depicts a procession of Arab horsemen, rendered in a loose and gestural style. The figures are almost entirely obscured by their clothing, and the horses are stylized and simplified, suggesting Kandinsky's growing interest in abstract forms. The composition is dominated by a warm brown background, which contrasts with the bright colors of the riders' clothing and the horses' bodies.
