This painting is dedicated to Will Grohmann (1887–1968), the German art historian and critic who was one of the first to recognize and champion the importance of modernism. A close friend of Kandinsky, Klee, and Feininger, Grohmann was dismissed from his museum post by the Nazis in 1933 for his support of avant-garde art. He continued to write and publish, and after the war became one of the most influential voices in German art criticism. Kandinsky's tribute reflects the deep mutual respect between the artist and the critic.
