Kandinsky moved and travelled a lot during his life. He is know to have lived in Russia, Germany and France.
It was not until he was 30 years old, Kandinsky gave up a promising career teaching law and economics to enroll in art school in Munich. Also in 1896, prior to leaving Moscow, he saw an exhibit of Monet and was particularly taken with a depiction of a haystack which, to him, had a powerful sense of color almost independent of the object itself.
