Blaue Reiter (German) [ˈblauə ˈraitər]
n (Fine Arts & Visual Arts / Art Movements) der. a group of German expressionist painters formed in Munich in 1911, including Kandinsky and Klee, who sought to express the spiritual side of man and nature, which they felt had been neglected by impressionism [literally: blue rider, name adopted by Kandinsky and Marc because they liked the colour blue, horses, and riders] Want to thank TFD for its existence?

It was not until the following year that with Jawlensky and Kandinsky, they would establish the Blaue Reiter group who are considered to mark the high point of German Expressionism. Even when taking into account the historic achievements of both Der Blaue Reiter (Kandinsky and Company) and Die Brucke (founded by Kirchner, Karl Schmidt-Rotluff, and Erich Heckel), it seems fair to say that the greater glory of that moment was captured by the French: by Matisse and the Fauvists, by Picasso and the Cubists. But as he transferred to Munich to captain the Blaue Reiter movement, Kandinsky started to transfigure scenes of tempestuous action into abstract swirls and hints of colour; in his abstract paintings Cossack riders mutate into simple dynamic coloured marks. |
