Why it's great
A colorful crowd of people in folk costume, with a castle, a river and a pair of lovers, is in a Russian fairy-tale world, painted with dots of pure color. Kandinsky painted a happy dream of old Russia. The dotted colors are lively. It's a colorful and joyful picture.

Wassily Kandinsky was born in Moscow and trained as a lawyer before becoming a painter at age 30. He lived in Russia, Germany and later France. He is considered one of the first artists to paint truly abstract works, using color and shape like music. He died in Neuilly-sur-Seine, near Paris, in 1944.
