Improvisation No. 30 (Cannons)

Kandinsky’s paintings are, in his words, “largely unconscious, spontaneous expressions of inner character, nonmaterial in nature.” Kandinsky explained in a letter to the buyer of Improv No. 30 that the inclusion of cannons in his composition was most likely due to the constant conversation of war at the time. Kandinsky steadily moved completely away from the material world and towards total abstraction in both style and titles.
