Poster for the Abrikosov Company 1898

This 1898 poster by Wassily Kandinsky advertises "Extra" chocolate made by the Abrikosov company. The poster, a notable example of Russian Art Nouveau, features a stylized landscape with bold colors and simplified forms. Kandinsky's use of strong lines and flat areas of color creates a striking visual impact, reflecting the emerging trends in modernism. The poster design incorporates a landscape scene, with trees and hills, as well as the company's name and a price. While Kandinsky is known for his abstract paintings, this poster reveals his early experimentation with design and his interest in the communicative power of visual elements.
