A Mountain, 1909
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Wassily Kandinsky is a captivating abstract masterpiece that showcases the artist's innovative approach to painting. This print, found in the collection of Stadtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus in Munich, transports viewers into a world of vibrant colors and rhythmic compositions. Kandinsky, one of the pioneers of abstract expressionism and a prominent member of the Blue Rider movement, created this artwork during a time when traditional representation was being challenged. "A Mountain" exemplifies his departure from representational art as he explores nonrepresentational forms and shapes. The canvas bursts with an explosion of colorfulness that captivates the eye. The composition seems to dance across the surface as bold lines intersect with geometric shapes. Through his use of oil on canvas, Kandinsky creates texture and depth that adds another layer to this visual symphony. This piece also holds historical significance as it was created during a period when many avant-garde artists faced persecution for their unconventional styles. Labeled as "degenerate art" by Nazi Germany, Kandinsky's work became part of what was known as entartete kunst or degenerate art. Today, "A Mountain" stands not only as an exceptional example of modern art but also as a testament to artistic freedom and expression. Its presence in Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus allows visitors to experience firsthand Kandinsky's mastery and contribution to Russian avant-garde art. (Copyright: Fine Art Images/
