The best years[edit / edit wiki text]
The heyday of the artist's creativity falls on the years when he taught summer courses at the Munich art school (Münchner Malschule Phalanx), which went to the town of Kallmünz, located in a picturesque area at the confluence of the Fils with the Neb.
In everyday life, this town is called "The Pearls of the Oberpfalz" Here, 35 year old Kandinsky got close to Gabriele Munter, a 26 year old student of the school.
However, he did not formalize the marriage, although in 1911 he divorced his first wife Anna Chemyakina.
After the outbreak of World War II, they separated due to Kandinsky's departure to Russia, but in 1915 they spent three months together again in Stockholm.
By this time, Gabriela had already become a real artist, although her manner was different from Kandinsky's style.
During the years of Nazism, his works were classified as "degenerate art" and were not exhibited anywhere.
However, some of them were saved by Gabriela, who lived permanently in Murnau am Staffelsee in the house in which she lived with Vasily.
She died there in 1962.

И. I. E. Grabar recalled this: "He wrote small landscape sketches, using not a brush, but a palette knife, and applying individual plans with bright colors.
They turned out colorful, not coordinated sketches in any way.
We all treated them with restraint, joked among ourselves about these exercises in "purity of colors".
At Ashbe, Kandinsky also did not succeed too much and did not shine at all with talents. "
