Για τον πίνακα
A horse and rider gallop through Lyrical, Wassily Kandinsky’s 1911 canvas belonging to Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam. A few lines and patches of colour carry the movement, leaving much of the scene unstated. Kandinsky chose the title to suggest a mood rather than describe an event, pursuing an abstraction comparable to music. The oil painting measures 94 × 130 cm.

Στη ζωή του καλλιτέχνη: Vasily Kandinsky
Όλη η ζωή1908–1909
“Thought-Forms” and the Theosophical Society
In 1908 Kandinsky bought a copy of “Thought-Forms” by Annie Besant and Charles Webster Leadbeater, and in 1909 he joined the Theosophical Society.
1908–1909
Murnau and Münter's “Russian House”
Gabriele Münter bought a summer house in Murnau, where the couple happily entertained colleagues; it is still known as the “Russenhaus”. Later Münter used its basement to hide many works by Kandinsky and others from the Nazis.
1909
President of the Neue Künstlervereinigung München
Kandinsky helped found the Neue Künstlervereinigung München and became its president. The group dissolved in late 1911: it could not reconcile the radical approach of Kandinsky and others with conventional ideas of art.
1910–1911
The treatise “Concerning the Spiritual in Art”
The treatise defended and promoted abstract art and affirmed that all forms of art are equally capable of reaching spirituality; colour in a painting can be autonomous, apart from the depiction of an object. Kandinsky distinguished three kinds of painting: impressions, improvisations and compositions.
1911
The birth of the Blue Rider
After the earlier association dissolved Kandinsky formed the Blue Rider with August Macke, Franz Marc, Albert Bloch and Gabriele Münter. The group issued an almanac and held two exhibitions; the war ended further plans.
1911
His first solo exhibition
His first solo exhibition took place in the same years, when the Blue Rider was being born.
