This book presents new research on the histories and legacies of
the German Expressionist group Blaue Reiter, the founding force
behind modernist abstraction. For the first time Blaue Reiter is
subjected to a variety of novel inter-disciplinary perspectives,
ranging from a philosophical enquiry into its language and visual
perception to analyses of its gender dynamics, its reception at
different historical junctures throughout the twentieth century and
its legacies for post-colonial aesthetic practices. The volume
offers a new perspective on familiar aspects of Expressionism and
abstraction, taking seriously the inheritance of modernism for the
twenty-first century in ways that will help to recalibrate the
field of Expressionist studies for future scholarship. Blaue Reiter
still matters, the contributors argue, because the legacies of
abstraction are still being debated by artists, writers,
philosophers and cultural theorists today. -- .
