Painting Information
Wassily Kandinsky’s "Murnau with Church II" (1910) is Kandinsky shaking off the constraints of realism, kicking it into the gutter, and charging headlong into abstraction - but not quite letting go of the familiar. There’s still a church spire here, some vaguely recognizable houses, but let's not kid ourselves - this isn't Murnau anymore. It's Kandinsky's brain on a particularly vivid day.
What hits you first, like a slap across the face, is the color. You’ve got reds that sear through the sky like a wound. The greens, usually so peaceful in a landscape, are jagged, sharp, unnatural - more like shards of glass than fields of grass. And the blues? Deep, moody, fighting to hold the whole scene together but failing gloriously. There's nothing subtle here - the colors scream at each other, overlapping, clashing, and creating a sort of visual cacophony that’s unsettling, but also utterly hypnotic.
Then there’s the structure - or, should I say, the remnants of it. The church spire leans awkwardly, but that’s the only thing still trying to do its job. The rest of the buildings are like broken toys tossed across the canvas. The composition teeters on the edge of collapse - there’s no balance here, no safe place for your eye to rest. It’s all angles and chaos, a landscape that’s been chewed up and spat out.
But what’s genius about it is that despite the chaos, you can still *feel* the place. It’s not realism, but it’s real. It’s how Murnau *feels* - not how it looks. Kandinsky’s painting the tension beneath the surface, the uneasy pulse of life, and that’s what grabs you by the throat. This is the start of something big - abstraction with its teeth still half-sunk into the real world. You can almost see the moment he’s about to let go entirely.
