The artwork, titled “Interior (My dining room),” was created by Wassily Kandinsky in 1909 in Munich, Germany. Executed in oil on cardboard, this piece belongs to the Expressionist art movement and measures 50 x 65 cm. It is categorized under the genre of interior scenes and is currently housed in the Lenbachhaus in Munich, Germany.
In “Interior (My dining room),” Kandinsky captures the intimate space of a dining room with a vibrant and dynamic palette. The artwork is characterized by bold, contrasting colors and expressive brushstrokes that eschew realistic representation in favor of an emotional and subjective perspective. The walls are depicted in a patchwork of vivid reds and purples, interrupted here and there by splashes of other colors. The room is furnished with various objects, including a table with a checkered tablecloth, set for a meal, and a sideboard adorned with decorative items. An open door invites the viewer’s gaze into an adjoining room, hinting at the domestic life beyond the immediate scene. The piece exemplifies Kandinsky’s early exploration of abstraction and his interest in capturing the essence of his subjects through color and form.
