Wassily Kandinsky didn’t just paint—he invented a whole new visual language.

Now on view at Museum Barberini, Kandinsky’s Universe brings together 125 works tracing the rise of geometric abstraction, with Kandinsky’s pioneering vision at its core.

From his early days in Munich to teaching at the Bauhaus and shaping abstract art in Paris, Kandinsky’s influence transformed modern painting forever.
