Gabriele Münter - Kandinsky beim Landschaftsmalen - 1903
Gabriele Münter's "Kandinsky beim Landschaftsmalen" (Kandinsky Painting Landscapes), created in 1903, offers a personal and intimate portrayal of Wassily Kandinsky during their early years together. This work provides a window into their shared artistic development and their mutual dedication to landscape painting. Münter captures Kandinsky in the act of creating, seated outdoors with his painting equipment, fully immersed in the process of capturing the surrounding scenery. The style is representational, focusing on depicting Kandinsky's likeness and the natural environment he is working in. The painting serves not only as a portrait but also as a document of their shared artistic journey and the importance of plein air painting in their early work. It's a valuable piece for understanding the formative years of two significant figures in 20th-century art. Source: Lenbachhaus
