Houses at Murnau

'Houses at Murnau' is a captivating piece by the Russian painter and art theorist, Wassily Wassilyevich Kandinsky. Known for pioneering abstraction in the Western art, Kandinsky uses the medium of oil on canvas to create this expressive cityscape. 'Houses at Murnau' is an exemplification of expressionism, a style that seeks to convey emotional experience rather than impressions of the physical world. Its vivid colors and dramatic brush strokes evoke an intense emotional response, revealing Kandinsky's transition from representational art to a more abstract style.
