1908 -1914 · Murnau, color and threshold of abstraction
The landscape plays a decisive role in Kandinsky's transition to abstraction. Around Murnau, Bavaria, where he worked regularly from 1908 with Gabriele Münter, mountains, churches, houses and trains lent themselves to one energetic simplification. Landscape near Murnau with a locomotive confronts the modern speed of the train with the stable masses of the relief. Winter landscape of 1910 transforms snow, trees and sky into chromatic oppositions that do not depend more of a naturalistic light. In Landscape with Red Spots n° 2, red accents govern circulation much more than topography. Landscape with yellow field further pushes color towards expressive autonomy: the zone luminous advances, the lines bend and the space becomes distorted. The pattern does not disappear; it becomes a set of sound and visual forces. The "Landscapes of Wassily Kandinsky" selection notably compares Landscape near Murnau with a locomotive and Winter Landscape (1910). His reading favors drawing.
Kandinsky does not abandon the landscape for abstraction: he discovers abstraction inside the mountains, paths and colors of Murnau.
