The artwork “Night” by Wassily Kandinsky, created in 1907 in Munich, Germany, is an exemplary piece of Expressionism rendered in tempera on cardboard. This literary painting, measuring 29.8 x 49.8 cm, showcases Kandinsky’s unique artistic vision.
In the artwork, set against a nocturnal backdrop, a dark sky brimming with stars illuminates a serene scene embellished with verdant trees and vivid, multi-colored foliage. Central to the composition are two figures clad in patterned attire, engaged in a mysterious, intimate interaction. The muted, yet vibrant colors and fluid, almost whimsical forms evoke a dreamlike quality, typical of Kandinsky’s expressive and symbolic style.
