About this artwork

Improvisation 6 (African) is an oil painting on canvas that Wassily Kandinsky completed in 1909. It belongs to his series of Improvisations, and the title points to an African theme. Kandinsky is widely regarded as one of the pioneers of abstraction in Western art, and he came to painting relatively late, beginning his studies at the age of 30. The work is held today in the Lenbachhaus.

On your wall: Its abstract character suits a living room, study or hallway where you want a single, thought-provoking piece to draw the eye and start a conversation.
