Houses at Murnau by Wassily Kandinsky Exhibition
Houses at Murnau belongs to a pivotal period in Kandinsky's development — the years around 1909 when he was moving from Post-Impressionist landscape toward full abstraction. The Bavarian village of Murnau became a laboratory for that transition. Here, houses, hills, and sky are rendered in bold flat planes of colour, outlines simplified to near-geometry, the scene recognisable yet already liberated from faithful representation. The palette is vivid and unnaturalistic: greens almost electric, shadows cast in deep blue-purple rather than grey.
On canvas, the bold colour planes and confident brushwork of this pivotal landscape take on the warmth of the original painted surface. The textured ground adds depth to the flat colour fields, bringing the work to life in three dimensions. This canvas print is handcrafted in our Berlin studio to archival standards.
