Gabriele Münter (1877–1962) was one of the founders of The Blue Rider (Der Blaue Reiter), the legendary group of Munich-based Expressionist artists. In her works, featuring precise lines and intense colors, the German painter immerses the viewer in her private world. Through her keen eye, lovers, friends, everyday objects, landscapes, and herself are reduced to their essence.
Through more than a hundred paintings, drawings, prints, and photographs, the catalog presents this exhibition, offering a glimpse into an artist who rebelled against the limitations imposed on women of her time and who managed to become one of the outstanding figures of German Expressionism at the beginning of the 20th century. It begins with an extensive chapter dedicated to her beginnings as an amateur photographer. Her pictorial creation is then presented in a chronological and thematic overview, starting with the works produced during her travels through Europe and North Africa with her partner, Wassily Kandinsky, and continues with an extensive chapter dedicated to her masterpieces from the Blue Rider period. Finally, it focuses on his exile in Scandinavia during the First World War and the different avenues of expression he found after his return to Germany. Throughout her long career, Münter repeatedly demonstrated her adaptability, her tireless desire to experiment, and her lack of prejudice toward anything new or different.
The exhibition aims to showcase the wealth of work by an artist who is well-known in Germany but who has only recently begun to gain greater relevance in the rest of Europe.
The exhibition was organized by the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, in cooperation with the Gabriele Münter and Johannes Eichner Foundation in Munich and the Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus und Kunstbau München in Munich, and in co-production with the Musée d’Art Moderne in Paris and Paris Musées.
This exhibition was made possible with the support of the Art Mentor Foundation Lucerne and the collaboration of the Community of Madrid.
