Description
Anyone who thought they knew the Blue Rider well
will be set straight by this volume: now it's the
women of this artists' group who take centre stage.
Their significant contribution to the avant-garde is
celebrated alongside their courage in defying social
conventions. The publication describes thirteen
fascinating artist biographies well worth discovering.
Gabriele Münter and Marianne von Werefkin have
entered the canon of German modernism, but who
were their fellow women artists? Through individual
portraits and wide-ranging essays, this book re
counts how the women of the Blue Rider group
fought for artistic independence even in the most
adverse of circumstances, creating international
networks and pursuing their own artistic methods.
More than 150 works show their revolutionary
approach to art and its distinct way of engaging with
the world.
