Gabriele Munter
Gabriele Munter was a German painter who
lived from 1877 to 1962. She was a member of the group of expressionist
artists called Der Blaue Reiter (the blue rider) that was founded
1911 in Munich. She was born in Berlin where she also grew up and
went to an artschool for girls. After two years of travel in America
she settled in Munich to study art at the phalanx school. There
she met Wassily Kandinsky who was her teacher and she became his
girlfriend for many years. Together they travelled a lot, for example
to Tunisia and the Netherlands. When WWI started they fled Germany
and went to Switzerland, there the two separated and Munter
continued to Stockholm while Kandinsky went to Russia. After WWI
Munter returned to Germany. During WWII she hid Kandinskys
works and those of other members of the Blue Rider from the Nazis.
She died 1962 in Murnau am Staffelsee.
The paintings are the excellent portrayal of the events and scenes
that we see around us. The painters are the best cameras of the
world. They reproduce many different types of pictures. They even
draw imaginary pictures that do not exist in this world. We tend
to use both thinned oil paints and dense oil paints. Masterpieces
can be dyed more than once, but each time it may be different from
the existing paintings.h
