The artwork titled “Grungasse in Murnau” was created by Wassily Kandinsky in 1909 in Munich, Germany. Executed in oil on cardboard, it belongs to the Expressionism movement and depicts a cityscape with dimensions of 33 x 44.6 cm. This piece is currently located in the Lenbachhaus, Munich, Germany.
The artwork features a vibrant, almost abstract representation of a street scene in Murnau, showcasing Kandinsky’s distinct style characterized by bold colors and expressive forms. The palette comprises primarily of deep blues, rich yellows, and lush greens, applied in broad, dynamic strokes that evoke a sense of movement and emotional intensity. The houses and street depicted are imbued with an almost dream-like quality, reflecting the artist’s pioneering approach to capturing the essence of a scene beyond mere physical appearance. The overall composition conveys both a sense of harmony and a slight whimsical nature, typical of Kandinsky’s work during this period.
