Old town II 1902

Wassily Kandinsky's *Old Town II*, painted in 1902, displays his early exploration of Expressionism. This oil painting, currently located at the Centre Pompidou, Paris, depicts a small town nestled within a landscape of hills, trees, and a winding path. Kandinsky's use of bold, vibrant colors and simplified forms, combined with an emphasis on feeling and emotion, distinguishes this work as a significant step towards the artist's later abstract creations. This pre-abstract landscape painting, showcasing the artist's unique style, provides insight into the evolution of Kandinsky's artistic vision.
