The painting «Autumn Landscape with Boats» was painted by V. V. Kandinsky in 1908. Vasily’s parents wanted their son to become a lawyer, so the great artist studied law. But at the age of 30, he nevertheless abandoned his career as a scientist for the sake of art. He wrote the first work in the style of abstractionism after years of passion for drawing and became the founder of this trend.

The artist preferred to paint his creations from life, but paying more attention not to the clarity and drawing of the image, but gave more importance to color and contrast.

In this picture, Kandinsky depicted the evening pier, with boats moored to it, and the shore in bright lights against the backdrop of sunset, almost night.

The boats are drawn more clearly, the artist depicted chiaroscuro due to the play of castrati of different colors, combining blue, pink and yellow colors.

The water has a blue color familiar to the viewer, on the surface of which the lights from the shore and the outlines of boats are reflected.

The shore looks no longer clear, there are only a few silhouettes of tall trees, the mountains in the background are dark blue and the concrete slabs of the pier are pink, yellow and blue.

The rest of the shore is filled with yellow and red short strokes, led by the light of burning lanterns. The sky has not the usual, even for sunset and twilight, green, blue, white and blue colors.

In this picture, as in many others, the artist again adheres to his theory of color. He believes that each color has its own dynamic character and affects the susceptibility of the image to the viewer in different ways.

He adhered to the fact that each color is valuable in itself and its harmonious combinations can express all the emotionality and convey spiritual value without depicting a real object. The artist argued that each color chord should in itself clearly express the association with the content of the mystical and musical character.

To date, the painting «Autumn Landscape with Boats» by Wassily Vasilyevich Kandinsky is in the Merzbacher Collection in Switzerland.
