Houses at Murnau (1909) by Wassily Kandinsky. Giclee Print on Museum Quality Matte Paper. Premium Wood Framed Wall Art.

Wassily Kandinsky's "Houses at Murnau" (1909) is a vivid explosion of color and form, capturing the essence of a transformative period in art history. Kandinsky, a pioneer of abstract art, was deeply influenced by the landscapes of Murnau, a small Bavarian village where he spent considerable time with fellow artists Gabriele Münter, Alexej von Jawlensky, and Marianne von Werefkin. This painting exemplifies his transition from representational art to abstraction, a journey that would eventually lead him to become a founding member of the Blaue Reiter group.

Born in Moscow in 1866, Kandinsky initially pursued a career in law before his fascination with color and form led him to art. His philosophical approach was rooted in the belief that art could transcend the material world and evoke spiritual resonance. Influenced by Theosophy and synesthesia, Kandinsky sought to convey emotions through a symphony of colors and shapes.

"Houses at Murnau" belongs to the Expressionist genre, characterized by its bold, non-naturalistic use of color and dynamic composition. The subject matter—a cluster of houses set against a vibrant landscape—serves as a canvas for Kandinsky's experimentation with color theory and emotional expression. The painting's significance lies in its role as a precursor to pure abstraction, highlighting Kandinsky's innovative use of color to evoke mood and atmosphere.

Currently, "Houses at Murnau" is held in the Lenbachhaus in Munich, serving as a testament to Kandinsky's enduring influence on modern art. This piece is a crucial link in understanding the evolution of abstract art and Kandinsky's profound impact on the art world.
