Wassily Kandinsky was born in Moscow in 1866 and died in Neuilly-sur-Seine near Paris in 1944. He is considered one of the founders of abstract painting and, together with Franz Marc, founded the artists' association Der Blaue Reiter in Munich in 1911. The print "Lyric" was created in 1911, initially as a color woodcut, and appeared in the portfolio "Klänge" as well as in black and white in the almanac Der Blaue Reiter. After returning to Russia, Kandinsky taught at the Bauhaus from 1922 to 1933 and emigrated to France after its closure.
In the collection: "Lyric - the Blue Rider".
Technique: Graphic lithography.
