The artwork titled “Apple Tree (Apfelbaum)”, created by Wassily Kandinsky in 1913, is a woodblock print that exemplifies the Abstract Art movement. This abstract illustration measures 10 x 10 centimeters and is housed in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, NY, US.
The artwork presents a stylized and simplified portrayal of an apple tree. Dominated by abstract shapes and vivid colors, the piece displays a scene featuring abstract figures and organic forms. The composition utilizes a limited color palette with predominant hues of green and yellow, providing a contrast that adds depth to the imagery. The figures within the scene are depicted in a simplified, almost childlike manner, suggestive of Kandinsky’s exploration of abstraction and form. The background contains undulating lines and patches of color that suggest a landscape, contributing to the overall abstract nature of the composition.
