Active in Germany in the years leading up to World War I, the Blue Rider was a collective of artists, cofounded by Wassily Kandinsky, that was a key influence on Expressionism.

The Blue Rider by Matthias Mühling,Annegret Hoberg,Anna Straetmans Pdf
»Das ganze Werk, Kunst genannt, kennt keine Grenzen und Völker, sondern die Menschheit.« So schrieben es Franz Marc und Wassily Kandinsky 1911 für ihren Almanach Der Blaue Reiter. Dieses programmatische Jahrbuch etablierte den Blauen Reiter (ca. 1911–1914) als einen der ersten transnationalen Künstler*innenkreise. Und dieses Credo inspirierte das Lenbachhaus dazu, das Werk der beteiligten Künstler*innen – unter ihnen Gabriele Münter, Alfred Kubin, Maria Marc und Elisabeth Epstein – nicht nur ästhetisch und historisch, sondern in seinen geistigen, sozio-ökonomischen sowie politischen Zusammenhängen zu betrachten. Denn nicht nur mit Worten, sondern auch mit Bildern und Taten setzte sich der Kreis des Blauen Reiter für ein globales, gleichberechtigtes Kunstverständnis ein. Gefangen in der Zeit der kolonialen Weltordnung vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg, gelang es allerdings auch ihnen nicht, eine emanzipatorische Praxis von Kunst jenseits nationaler Zugehörigkeit sowie tradierter Hierarchien und Gattungen umzusetzen.

Albert Bloch, the American Blue Rider by Albert Bloch Pdf
American artist Albert Bloch lived in Munich from 1909 to 1923, where he met and worked with Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc, the founders of the revolutionary Blue Rider group. Until now, he has hardly been mentioned in any of the major accounts of the group. This text examines Bloch's complete oeuvre, including six paintings he contributed to the first Blue Rider exhibition, with illustrations of all his key works. An extensive anthology includes his correspondence with Kandinsky, Marc and other well-known contemporaries, as well as the texts of the lectures he gave after he returned to America in 1923 to teach. These include the "Denver Lecture", in which he provides a unique perspective of the times and talents of the Blue Rider artists. To preserve the literary style and integrity of Bloch's writings, these are reprinted in either the English or German language in which they were originally written.
Brimming with stunning reproductions and illuminating texts, this handy and accessible book is the perfect introduction to one of European modern art's most important movements. Founded in Munich in 1911, the Blue Rider Group was a revolutionary collective of artists that pioneered German Expressionism. Including Wassily Kandinsky, Franz Marc, Natalia Goncharova, Gabriele Münter, and Marianne von Werefkin, the group rejected the prevailing formal and academic artistic trends of their time, sought to break free from the constraints of traditional painting, transcend the material world, and explore emotional and spiritual truths in their art. This book spotlights 35 important works that embody the artists' pioneering achievements and radical innovations. It features stunning reproductions that highlight the movement's use of luminous colors, symbolic forms, and expressive brushwork.
Under the open sky by Sarah Louisa Henn,Matthias Mühling Pdf
"Wassily Kandinsky and Gabriele Münter--we know them as leading figures of the Blue Rider. Yet the two were close collaborators for years before the artists' group was founded. The exhibition undertakes a pioneering reconstruction of their itinerant life between 1902 and 1908. The pair traveled widely and light, working under the open sky to create paintings in small formats and photographs. Oil sketches produced right in front of the motifs and photographs show scenes and sceneries in and around Kallmünz, Rotterdam, Tunis, Rapallo, Paris, and other destinations. Among these works are oil studies, photographs, and sketchbooks by Gabriele Münter that have never been on display in an exhibition. Letting us observe the two partners' unusually close shared engagement with the same motifs and creative techniques, they also illustrate how each developed his or her own and personal perspective on the settings in which they found themselves. Having enrolled at the Phalanx art school in Munich in 1901, Münter took up an invitation from Kandinsky, who taught there, to join his class on a work retreat in Kochel in the summer of 1902. Carrying cameras, palettes, small pasteboards, folding easels, and resealable paint tubes, they got on their bicycles and explored the landscapes along the edge of the Bavarian Alps. They spent a second summer with Kandinsky's painting class in Kallmünz the following year--this time as a couple. Here they fell into a form of working in tandem that they would continue on their travels during the next several years and that left a clearly recognizable imprint on their art. They approached the same motif sampling different techniques, used photographs captured along the way as sources of inspiration for drawings, woodcuts, and paintings, and discussed the innovative ideas that each was developing. From 1904 until 1908, the couple was mostly on the road. Mobility was the defining characteristic of their private life as well as their work on their art, in which they dedicated themselves to the landscapes and architectures of their travel destinations. Whether in Germany or the Netherlands, in Italy or Tunisia, they followed the itineraries recommended in the guidebooks of the time and selected destinations that had long been popular with tourists. Their technique evinces the influence of Impressionism: rarely using the brush, they applied virtually unmixed paints with the palette knife. The formats are small and intimate, with a focus on the handling of color. Unaffected by social realities, they sought to render the surfaces of the world around them as it presented itself to the eye. Besides the oil sketches, they gathered a great number of photographs, the majority taken by Münter, who never went out without her Kodak roll-film camera. Suggesting the painter's keen eye for composition, these pictures possess a striking quality that, for today's beholder, lends them genuinely artistic value in addition to their function as private documentation. Similarities as well as differences between the photographic and painted pictures speak to the questions that drove the two artists' shared quest for a modernist idiom, a contemporary pictorial aesthetic. It led them to reject academic convention and embrace the Impressionist model--in Kallmünz no less than in Carthage. Their wanderings came to a close after four years abroad including, in 1906-1907, an entire year in Paris; back in Germany, they spent the winter in Berlin and the spring in South Tyrol before deciding, in the early summer of 1908, to abandon the restless and rather lonely life on the road and settle down in Munich for good. Their return marks the end of the exhibition, which draws attention to the creative symbiosis between Kandinsky and Münter in the early years of their relationship between 1902 and 1908. Curated by Sarah Louisa Henn and Matthias Mühling" -- Museum's website.
Kandinsky, Marc & Der Blaue Reiter by Ulf Küster Pdf
For just a few years at the beginning of the twentieth century, Munich was the ?hot spot? of Germany?s artistic avant-garde. Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc?s initiative as founding editors of the almanac Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider) was a stroke of luck for the arts. The journal and exhibition of the same name made international waves when they heralded the start of the modern era in Germany before the First World War. Since then, the names of the movement?s key players Franz Marc, Gabriele Münter, Alexej von Jawlensky, August Macke et al., signal an essential chapter in the international history of art marked by the transition of painting into a vibrant, colorful and transcendental form of abstraction. This beautiful publication that dedicates itself to this topic will show a revolutionary re-valuation of the arts in an open Europe.00Exhibition: Fondation Beyeler, Riehen/Basel, Switzerland (4.9.2016-22.1.2017).
