The painting titled 'Improvisation 7' by Wassily Kandinsky is a fine example of early 20th-century Expressionism combined with a dash of Abstract art. Kandinsky used traditional oil paints on a standard canvas to eloquently express his inner emotions and ideas. True to his unconventional style, Kandinsky evolved a new form of painting that heavily relied on improvisation. Shapes, lines, and color seem to form a surreal musical composition, encapsulating the artist's fascination with the relationship between art and music. This piece was cared for by Nina Kandinsky, who, after Wassily’s death, worked diligently to promote and preserve his unique artistic legacy.
