1909, Vassily Kandinsky, Improvision 3 -- Pompidou Center (Paris)
From the museum label: The long strokes, arbitrary colours and flaming sky make this a dreamlike vision.
In a landscape no doubt inspired by the city of Tunis, which he had visited in 1904, a knight is just beginning the ascent of a bridge. The knight, an evocation of the valiant figure of Saint Georges and alter ego of the artist, is a spiritual guide. The work was featured in 1911 at the Izdebski Salon in Odessa.
