'Twilight' is a notable painting by the Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky, often acknowledged as the pioneer of Abstract art. Kandinsky's work, frequently associated with the Der Blaue Reiter and Expressionism movements, broke with convention, encouraging a move towards more Abstract expressions in art. 'Twilight' exhibits his inclination towards non-representational painting, using Oil on Cardboard to create an intricate composition of vibrant colours and shapes, that evoke emotion rather than depict reality. This painting not only enriches our understanding of Kandinsky's style but also epitomizes the ethos of 20th-century abstract art.
