On Monday, March 9 from 7pm, the opening of the exhibition "Beyond the World. The Blue Rider" will take place. Lenbachhaus Munich cordially invites you and your friends!
In the early years of the twentieth century, a circle of artists, women as well as men, came together in Munich. They shared a vision and the resolve to renew art and change society.
The exhibition turns the spotlight on their pioneering achievements—from Franz Marc’s symbolic theory of color and Wassily Kandinsky’s abstractions to Alexander Sacharoff’s performative transgressions. A special focus is on the women artists; unusually visible for their time, they played leading roles in the movement. Gabriele Münter’s expressive paintings appear side by side with Elisabeth Epstein’s haunting self-portraits; the cosmopolite Marianne von Werefkin’s dramatic paintings, with Maria Frank-Marc’s enigmatic still lifes and utopian children’s worlds.
With speeches from
Florian Roth, Member of the Munich City Council representing the Lord Mayor
Matthias Mühling, Director of Lenbachhaus
Melanie Vietmeier, Curator of the exhibition
