Author: Munter, Gabriele
Published alongside a landmark exhibition, the publication presents the work of German Expressionist Gabriele Münter, a cofounder of Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider). With over 70 full-colour plates, plus a rich selection of Münter’s photographs and later works, this publication not only traces Münter’s pioneering and understudied practice but also challenges accepted historical narratives that have tended to sideline women artists. Includes accompanying essays and analysis. Reproductions of archival material appear alongside choice selections of the artist's sketches, prints and reverse glass paintings. Thematic texts by renowned scholars explore identity, place, belonging and the embodied experience of modernist women artists during this period.Münter’s painting practice between 1908 and 1920 is the central focus of the exhibition and accompanying book. The study also illuminates her lesser-known later work and includes significant examples of her photography taken during earlier extensive travels in the United States. It also showcases her introspective portraits during World War II, works that capture the “new woman” and explore questions of gender identity.Gabriele Münter (1877–1962) was at the forefront of the German avant-garde in the early 20th century and exhibited extensively at galleries and salons throughout Europe during her lifetime. Along with her artistic colleague and one-time partner, Vasily Kandinsky, Münter was a founder of the influential Expressionist group of artists, Der Blaue Reiter.
