The artwork titled “Study for Autumn” was created by Wassily Kandinsky in the year 1909 in Munich, Germany. It belongs to the Expressionism movement and is classified under the landscape genre.
In this artwork, Kandinsky employs bold and dynamic brushstrokes to depict an abstract landscape. The vibrant hues of yellow, red, black, and blue blend harmoniously, creating a vivid representation of autumn. The composition is accentuated by sweeping curves and geometric shapes, conveying a sense of movement and depth. Despite the abstraction, the elements within the piece evoke the natural forms of hills, mountains, and structures, capturing the essence of the season in a manner characteristic of Kandinsky’s early explorations into non-objective art. The painter’s signature can be observed at the bottom right corner, adding a personal touch to this evocative landscape.
