Der Blaue Reiter

German

By (author): Hajo Düchting

Although it only lasted three turbulent years, the afterburn of the Blaue Reiter (19111914) movement exerted a tremendous influence on the development of modern European art. Named after a Kandinsky painting, The Blue Rider, this loose band of artists, grouped around Russian émigré Wassily Kandinsky and German painter Franz Marc, sought to reject establishment standards and charge into a new artistic unknown.

Articulating spiritual values and concerns in an era of rapid industrialization, the artists of the Blaue Reiter were connected by a shared interest in painting, woodcuts, and prints, as well as the symbolic values of color and spontaneous approaches to artwork. Key pieces such as Franz Marcs Blue Horse I (1911), Kandinskys Picture with a Black Arch (1912), and August Mackes Woman in a Green Jacket (1913) reveal varying subjects, but all channel distorted perspectives, crude lines, and an emphatic, expressionist use of color.

The Blaue Reiter was abruptly truncated by the onset of the First World War, which killed two of its leading artists, along with growing dissent between the groups protagonists. This book reveals the movements remarkable influence despite its brevity, presenting key works, artists, and their reverberating effects.
