This painting could have easily been done by someone like Cézanne. Obvious is already the cerebral approach towards composition, particularly in the artist's use of the golden section.

A similar subject to the previous one, but here it is treated in the Fauvist style, with the highly contrasting colours. The strong use of colours will remain Kandinsky's trade mark.

The Blue Rider (or Der Blaue Reuter), an early version of one of Kandinsky's favourite themes.

A black train riding into the Fauvist countryside with houses. As if about to take plunge into an unknown...

Some figures, barely recognizable as such, but still there.

A rider on a horse, one of my favourite paintings.

These could be some fairy tale creatures, maybe even the Hobbits, wouldn't you say?

Perhaps Kandinsky might have heard of Ned Kelly, though I doubt it. Sydney Nolan however would have heard of Kandinsky.

There is nothing much left by now to recognize as a regular form.

Some geometric abstraction is beginning to appear. It will become more prominent in the later paintings.

Planets? Amoebas? Bubbles? You decide.

This reminds me strongly of some works by the Australian Aboriginal artists.

Some geometry, with a black sun looking on.

This could be a whale, swimming somewhere near the shore. It could also be something else.

Are there suggestions of faces here?
