The artwork titled “Blue Rider” by Wassily Kandinsky, created in 1903 in Munich, Germany, is an oil painting on cardboard belonging to the Expressionism movement. Measuring 55 x 65 centimeters, this landscape genre piece is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a dynamic scene of a rider, cloaked in blue, galloping on a white horse across a lush, vibrant grassy landscape. The lively brushstrokes and vibrant coloration evoke a sense of motion and emotional intensity, typical of Expressionist works. The background features a cluster of trees in rich autumnal hues, contrasting with the serene, cloud-spotted blue sky above. This piece exemplifies Kandinsky’s early exploration of color and form to convey emotional and spiritual resonance.
