The Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum presents the expressionist paintings of Gabriele Münter (1877-1962) starting this Tuesday, November 12. Münter was one of the founders of The Blue Rider, a group of expressionist artists based in Munich that emerged in late 1911, which also included renowned artists such as Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc, among others.
The exhibition at the Thyssen-Bornemisza highlights Gabriele Münter's contribution to the expressionist movement and her key role in the creation of The Blue Rider. Through her paintings, Münter explored emotional expression and the representation of reality in a subjective and vibrant manner, characteristic of early 20th-century German expressionism.
The works of Münter displayed in the museum offer a unique insight into her personal style and artistic evolution throughout her career. Her paintings reflect the intensity of her emotions and her innovative approach to the representation of the human figure and landscape, fundamental aspects of her expressionist work.
In the words of the exhibition curators: "Gabriele Münter was a crucial figure in the development of German expressionism, and her artistic legacy remains relevant in the history of art. This retrospective at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum is a unique opportunity to appreciate the work of this talented artist and understand her impact on the world of modern art."
