"Murnau with Church Tower" by Wassily Kandinsky - Expressionist Masterpiece #1732754 (License: Personal Use)

This 1910 oil-on-canvas painting by Wassily Kandinsky marks a pivotal shift toward abstraction, depicting the Bavarian town of Murnau with its distinctive church tower rendered in expressive, non-representational forms. Vivid blocks of yellow, blue, green, and red swirl around the central white spire, evoking emotional resonance rather than literal scenery. The composition reflects Kandinsky’s belief in color’s spiritual power and the autonomy of artistic form.
