Hey dear community, at the beginning I would like to welcome you all to my new post and hope you had a day full of interesting experiences! Today I would like to go into the history of art and hope you can expand your knowledge.
Here you can see pictures of two works of art by the artist Gabriele Münter (1877 - 1962) who is one of the best-known German painters of modern times and a most impressive representative of Expressionism. She was born in Germany in the city of Berlin and already developed a strong interest in art in her youth and had the luck to be promoted by her parents in this regard, which allowed her to attend a private art school and at that time it was very rare that women were allowed to study art because equal rights were still different at that time than today and changed only about 100 years ago. In Düsseldorf there was a private art school that also promoted women who attended Münter in the year 1897 and then she decided to go to America and after her arrival she changed the city and went to Munich where she had also met her husband Wassily Kandinsky (1866 - 1944) who is also a well-known artist and in the future I will also go into him more. The couple travelled a lot and visited the Netherlands, Switzerland, France and other countries where she was shaped by the culture for her art and in the course of her career a change in her art style can be seen and she was also known to be a member of several different associations and is also considered, among other things, a founding member of the well-known group the blue rider. At the beginning of the Second World War, the couple fled to Switzerland and there were some problems in their relationship and the two separated and she also gave up art for a few years and was relatively undecided and it drew her to some different places and later she also began to devote to her passion for art again. She is particularly known for painting expressive women's portraits and she visited many exhibitions in her life and mostly exhibited her works alone or in a group and was considered a diverse personality who was strongly influenced by her travels and she was also known to have tried out new art styles and to have created her very own style with which she still shapes numerous artists today.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you could learn something new about art history! I captured these pictures with my Camera Sony Alpha 6000 plus 55-210 mm lens.
