Landscape with factory chimney 1910

"Landscape with factory chimney" (1910) by Wassily Kandinsky is a prime example of the artist's transition into abstract art. While the title suggests a recognizable scene, Kandinsky's use of bold colors and simplified shapes creates a non-representational landscape. The painting is characterized by vivid hues, particularly the red chimney that dominates the right side of the canvas, and swirling lines that suggest movement and energy, a key feature of his "Improvisations" series. This artwork is part of the Guggenheim Museum's collection in New York City.
