Overview
Murnau: Top of the Johannisstrasse is an oil on cardboard painted in 1908 by Wassily Kandinsky, measuring 70 × 48.5 cm. It portrays the beginning of the main street in the Bavarian village of Murnau, with houses rendered in vivid, contrasting hues that animate an otherwise tranquil rural scene.
Stylistic Context
By 1908 Kandinsky had become a key figure in Der Blaue Reiter, embracing Expressionism and the emotional potential of color. Influenced by the Fauves he saw in Paris, he moved away from naturalistic representation toward a more subjective, mood-driven approach, laying the groundwork for his later abstract work.
Key Characteristics
- Bold, non-naturalistic palette: walls and roofs in pink, green, yellow, and blue reflecting Fauvist color strategies
- Simplified geometric forms: houses and street elements reduced to rhythmic planes
- Expressive brushwork: loose, visible strokes that convey movement and vitality
- Early flattening of space: a prelude to full abstraction, with limited depth and a focus on surface arrangements
This painting marks Kandinsky’s shift from literal landscapes to compositions driven by inner sensation, presaging his pioneering developments in non-objective art.

so it seems this account is a new beginning for the next level of the game, it being a time of closing of the roots which brought me thus far.
I had a root extraction this year. One of the roots is still connected to the nerve, alive, and thus a little tiny fang sticks cutely up from the gum between the other molars. It hurts like XXXX and takes months to properly heal. Don't eat sugar kids, it gives you cancer anyway. Imagine a world where sugar is banned for health reasons. It is possible...

The cathedral is located in the Cathedral Hill neighbourhood of San Francisco, California. The present cathedral replaced one (1891-1962) of the same name. The cathedral was designed by local architects John Michael Lee, Paul A. Ryan and Angus McSweeney, collaborating renown architects Pier Luigi Nervi and Pietro Belluschi — at the time, the Dean of the School of Architecture at MIT.
Its saddle roof is composed of eight segments of hyperbolic paraboloids, in such a fashion that the bottom horizontal cross section of the roof is a square and the top cross section is a cross.
In 2017, Architecture Digest named it one of the 10 most beautiful churches in the United States.
