Buenos Aires, Casablanca, Beijing, Khartoum, Lahore, Tokyo: all
over the world, artists joined forces in collectives throughout the
twentieth century. While the tendency to form groups was (and still
is) universal, the concerns of their members, their aesthetic
methodologies, political goals, and utopian aspirations differed
fundamentally depending on time and place. The period from about
1900 to 1980 covered here coincides with the beginning of diverse
international modernization movements and finally includes
decolonization processes and the founding of new nations. These
events were often accompanied by the establishment of art schools
and collectives as well as the publication of programmatic texts
and journals. The project is funded by the German Federal Cultural
Foundation in conjunction with its Museum Global initiative. The
catalogue accompanying the first part of the exhibition, Group
Dynamics - The Blue Rider, also published by Hatje Cantz Verlag, is
already available. It offers a comprehensive survey of works and
new insights into the circle of artists who made up Der Blaue
Reiter. Texts by: Karin Althaus, Sergio Baur, Susanne Boeller,
Elisabeth Giers, Salah M. Hassan, Sarah Louisa Henn, Eva
Huttenlauch, Samina Iqbal, Zehra Jumabhoy, Morad Montazami, Noriko
Murai, Jaroslaw Suchan, Daniel Muzyczuk, Thiago Gil de Oliveira

Weber, Carol Yinghua Lu, et al.
Filled with the vibrant color that is the hallmark of Münter’s
oeuvre, this dynamic consideration of the German painter offers a
lively and detailed analysis of her life, work, and contributions
to modern painting. While Münter is most often linked to Wassily
Kandinsky and the Blue Rider movement, this book offers a
refreshing appreciation of her work in its own right. Multifaceted,
imaginative, and stylistically diverse, Münter’s creative
output spanned genres to include portraits, landscapes, interiors,
and abstractions. Beautifully reproduced images allow readers to
marvel at Münter’s joyful vibrant hues, her bold brushstrokes
and her experimental and innovative approach to painting. Lively
texts offer important biographical insights into her artistic
evolution and place her work in the broader context of modern art.
Comprehensive and insightful, this newly formatted edition pays
tribute to a hugely influential woman artist whose work is all too
often overlooked.
The publication explores the diversity of the lives and destinies
of artists during the Weimar Republic, under National Socialism,
and until the inaugural documenta held in the young Federal
Republic in 1955. Their works and biographies bear witness to the
horrors of persecution and careers cut short, to resistance and
conformity. The presentation intertwines the individual lives with
the parallel strands of contemporary history and institutional
frameworks. Numerous authors shed light on issues that have
recently attracted sustained interest from historians. The choice
of emphases reflects the history of the Lenbachhaus's collection
and exhibition program. The presentation accordingly focuses on the
Munich art scene, complemented by major phenomena on the national
and international stages. Diversity of biographies and topics of
German art history between 1918 and 1955 With works by Otto
Freundlich, Kathe Hoch, Rudolf Schlichter, Maria Luiko, George
Grosz, Gabriele Munter, and others Exhibition Stadtische Galerie im
Lenbachhaus und Kunstbau October 15, 2022-April 16, 2023
