1903

Kandinsky's first solo exhibition takes place in Moscow. He creates an album of 16 woodcuts titled Stiche ohne Worte (Woodcuts Without Words), which is printed in Moscow. He paints The Blue Rider (Der Blaue Reiter) — an image of a rider in a blue cloak on a white horse galloping across a meadow, which would later become the symbol of the eponymous artists' association. In 1903–1904, he travels with Gabriele Münter through Italy, the Netherlands, and North Africa, and also visits Russia.
