This work is one of several compositions with ovalsthat Kandinsky painted in the late 1910s. Like theothers, it is completely abstract, though one canalso read associations with a certain objective reality.The small cupolas of the church and thefields, outlined by a black oval and seen fromabove, link this musical expression of the state ofthe artist’s soul to the real pictures of life that evokesuch feelings and emotions.
