Kandinsky's painting Winter Landscape is one of the works in which the artist's individuality — already pointing toward his future role as the founder of abstract art — is revealed in full measure. The motif of thin black trunks is one that Kandinsky frequently employed in his landscapes. The bright palette, dominated by pink, yellow, blue, and black, is rooted in immediate visual impressions: the artist seeks to convey the varied light effects on snow illuminated by the setting sun, while the spatial depth of the landscape is emphasized through the composition.

Brett: Someone said his work is like a toddler. If you understand color and perspective you wouldn’t think that. He is an amazing artist. Otherwise, it’s easy to judge like that.
