Painting with White Lines

Wassily Kandinsky · Russian · 1913

Painted in Munich during Kandinsky's Blaue Reiter years, this swirling composition uses white linear structures to organize explosive color and near-abstract forms. The canvas, long held in one family and rarely seen publicly, became a landmark of his early abstract theory and helped break his auction record at Sotheby's in 2017.
