Kandinsky in front of Franz-Joseph-Strasse in Munich, ca. 1905.

Kandinsky lived in Munich between 1896 and 1914, with the exception of trips he made back to Russia, as well as a series of travels to Holland, Italy, France, and Tunisia he conducted with Münter between 1904 and 1908. Due to the onset of World War I, Kandinsky was forced into exile in Switzerland between August and December of 1914 before he returned to Russia for the duration of the War. He moved back to Germany in 1921, though this time to work at the Bauhaus, where he remained until 1933 when the doors to the Bauhaus were closed under pressure from the National Socialist government. He spent the remainder of his life and career in Neuilly-sur-Seine, just outside of Paris. | Quelle: VK 682.306A.
