Gabriele Münter

German painter, 1877-1962

Gabriele Münter was a German expressionist painter who was at the forefront of the Munich avant-garde in the early 20th century and who was familiar with many of the more famous artists of the time. In 1911 Münter, Kandinsky, and Franz Marc founded the expressionist group known as Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider). She is most well known for her landscapes, many of which were painted in Murnau. Her composition and forms are very flat and the colors are muted and suggestive. In the early 1900s her style began to change as a result of the influence of Matisse and Fauvism, Gauguin, and van Gogh.

Fine archive of correspondence with the art dealer Alex Vomel of Dusseldorf, spanning 1950 to 1957, comprised of 11 ALSs totaling 23 pages, and one signed printed note thanking him for good wishes on her 80th birthday. Content generally concerns exhibitions of her works. One letter from June 10, 1951, in part (translated): “Unfortunately, we do not have any woodcuts from ‘Les Nabis,’ but some of Kandinsky, which, however, we do not want to sell. After all, it would be interesting to find out how those pre-abstract works were estimated.” In overall fine condition.

Munter began an artistic and romantic relationship with the famed Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky in 1902, eventually forming the important expressionist group known as Der Blaue Reiter together. Superb material from an important figure in the development of modern art..
