The great Gabrielle Münter – she was once the student of Kandinsky and later his dedicated partner.

She was one of the first members of the expressionist group ‘Blue Rider’ (Blauer Reiter), who tried to express the spiritual transformation of modern society thru their paintings.

What I like about Frau Münter are her vibrant colors and strong expressions. She started Painting in the age of 20 in the Ladies School of Art in Düsseldorf. Frist she just wanted to be an art teacher, but went for the real thing. She was lucky to be able to visit one of the first art school ‘Phalanx’ that was open to women as well. This is where she met Kandinsky.

Her paintings are full of vibrant colors. Life is an orgasm of light and intensive moment in her work.
