1909, Gabriele Munter, Street with Children -- Stadel Museum (Frankfurt)
From the museum label: From 1909 onwards, the artist lived in Murnau am Staffelsee. There, she found one of her most important inspirational sources: rural reverse glass painting with its simple design of black lines and the unmixed juxtaposition of colour fields. With her development of a new way of seeing and expressing herself, Münter achieved her breakthrough as a painter. She reduced what she saw to sketch-like, simplified pictorial formulas and clearly contoured areas of bright colours, thus achieving an exciting interplay between an illusionistic impression of space and a concentration on colour fields. Münter was one of the founding members of the 'Blaue Reiter'.
