Kandinsky and the Blue Rider

The group of artists known as The Blue Rider, led by Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc, represents a major landmark in the history of modern art. Just before the outbreak of the First World War, a publication - the Almanach - and two exhibitions brought together great artists of the time, among them Matisse, Picasso, Delaunay, Klee, and Le Douanier Rousseau. Kandinsky ushered in a new era by giving equal importance to Abstract Painting, Realism, Primitive and Western Art, children's drawings and drawings by Picasso. The story of this group is a fascinating one, and is supported by letters and memoirs written by the protagonists in this exciting adventure. Softcover. English. Terrail. 1996.
