ワシリー・カンディンスキー（Vasily Kandinsky）作『Picture with an Archer』
美術館のキャプション
This painting's vibrant colors almost obscure its subject. At lower right an archer on horseback leaps through a radiant landscape of towering trees and rock formations. Men in Russian dress stand in the left foreground; behind them is a group of buildings with onion-shaped domes. This folkloric scene evokes Kandinsky's native Russia, and it also bears the influence of Murnau, the southern German town where the artist lived when he made this work: the black outlines enclosing bright colors recall reverse glass painting, a local craft. "Color," Kandinsky wrote a year later, "is a power which directly influences the soul."
