Gabriele Münter Book order

Gabriele Münter was much more than just “the woman by Kandinsky’s side”. Thanks to exhibitions and publications on her oeuvre, especially throughout the past two decades, she has earned wide recognition as one of the leading protagonists of the German avant-garde. Now, the Leopold Museum is the first institution in Austria to dedicate a comprehensive solo exhibition to her work. Divided into ten thematic emphases, the exhibition highlights the stages of the Expressionist painter’s life, which often coincided with changes in her style and lively interest in untested techniques and subjects. Around 120 exhibits from public and private international collections – including oil paintings, printed graphic works, drawings, photographs, artisanal objects and sketchbooks – afford profound insights into the artist’s multi-faceted oeuvre. Text: Barbara Halbmayr, Annegret Hoberg, Gisela Kleine, Angela Lampe.

Der Name Gabriele Münter ist unzertrennlich mit der expressionistischen Künstlergruppe Der Blaue Reiter verbunden. Die Geliebte Kandinskys schuf Bilder von strahlender Leuchtkraft und ausdrucksstarkem abstrahiertem Formenreichtum. Dieser Kalender zeigt eine hochwertige Auswahl aus Münters Werken.

This dynamic new appraisal of the painter Gabriele Münter looks beyond her association with Wassily Kandinsky and completely reevaluates her art on the anniversary of her 140th birthday. Gabriele Münter was a photographer before she was a painter, taking her first photos around 1900 during her stay in the United States. She started painting soon after and never stopped— working on her art almost every day for the rest of her life. She was an open-minded artist who embraced experimentation, but because her oeuvre has generally been studied through the narrow lens of her relationship with Kandinsky many of her accomplishments have lingered in obscurity. Münter’s paintings from the „Blue Rider“ years and her association with German Expressionism have often been the focus for evaluations of her work, yet Münter’s art was far more multifaceted, imaginative, and stylistically diverse. This book seeks to offer a broader perspective on Münter’s creative output. It examines Münter’s oeuvre in all its richness: from classic genres such as portraits and landscapes to interiors, abstractions, and her works of „primitivism.“
