The artwork titled “Portrait Of Wassily Kandinsky” was created by the artist Gabriele Munter in 1906. It belongs to the Expressionism art movement and falls under the genre of portraiture.
The artwork presents a striking depiction of Wassily Kandinsky, characterized by bold lines and an abstract background. Dominated by contrasting shades of blacks, whites, and muted blues, the portrait captures the intense gaze of the subject. Kandinsky is portrayed with a contemplative expression, his spectacles and pipe adding to the character’s intellectual appearance. The background consists of abstract, fluid shapes, indicative of the Expressionist style, which lends a dynamic quality to the composition. The use of strong contours and simplified forms emphasizes the emotional and psychological depth of the subject.
